Riding high after a miraculous Denver Broncos victory over Kansas City on Thursday night, Danny Williams and Dee White of Mile High Sports AM 1340 had to take pause from the elation of the wild finish to give credit to some players who flew under the radar.
White specifically pointed out the play of Shaquil Barrett and Sylvester Williams. Barrett, says White had big flashes again versus Kansas City, just as he had throughout the preseason – pointing to specific plays that saw Barrett chase down wide receivers with elite speed.
Williams, meanwhile, delivered a huge game for Denver that might have gone unnoticed by national TV commentators and other media, but showed up in some analysts’ eyes including Pro Football Focus.
Top-rated Broncos, per @PFF: Williams (+3.3), Colquitt (+3.3), Talib (+2.6), McManus (+2.6), Thomas (+1.9), Sanders (+1.5), Walker (+1.4).

White and Williams continued to run down their list of under-the-radar Broncos who had big games against KC, including one player whose night was a mix of extreme highs and lows.
