Poor Showing For Broncos Running Game In Early Going
DENVER (CBS4) - The Denver Broncos running game is not anything to write home about so far in their preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Of their first six rushing attempts in the first quarter, four were for negative yardage. The total yardage gained was 7 yards.
Running back C.J. Anderson also left the game to get treatment for a cut. He is expected to return to action, according to the Broncos.
Devontae Booker came into the game when Anderson came out.
So Booker clearly the #2 RB tonight... Who will be #3? #4Broncos

Quarterback Trevor Siemian didn't start throwing the ball until right before the first quarter.
Broncos offense finishes 1st quarter with some signs of life. Siemian 1 of 3; 11 yards and a 1st down.
