No mistakes
There have been a lot of things that have tripped up the Broncos these last few weeks, but far and away, the most obvious have been the drops and turnovers. If they want to make some real noise in these final two weeks and into the playoffs, they have to cut those out entirely.
That means that these guys have to make sure their hands are turned on tonight and going forward — attention, Demaryius Thomas and Vernon Davis. And if Emmanuel Sanders is sitting back waiting for a punt, he better make sure he catches it.
But it doesn’t stop with the offensive players; the defense has to keep themselves in check, too.
Guys like Von Miller, T.J. Ward and Malik Jackson have gotten themselves in trouble throughout the season by letting their tempers get the best of them, and it’s cost them all year. One roughing the passer penalty or one late hit — even an offsides penalty — could be the difference between a three and out and a touchdown drive.
If the Denver Broncos just play a solid, sound game, they should be the better team on Monday night. But if they beat themselves, it’ll be a bad day in Broncos Country.
