Denver7’s Troy Renck also predicts a narrow win for the Broncos on Thursday. His keys to the game include quick passes to Jerry Jeudy and Noah Fant, a reliance on Melvin Gordon III and the run game and producing turnovers.
Speaking of Noah Fant, ESPN’s Jeff Legwold recapped how he went from maybe being someone fans weren't super high on when the Broncos traded down to select him on draft night to being the team's breakout star in 2020.
