Courtland Sutton's career day helped the Denver Broncos beat woeful Jacksonville 23-13 on Sunday.
Rookie Patrick Surtain II registered his first career interception in his first career start for the Denver Broncos in Jacksonville.
Von Miller celebrated his return to the lineup with a pair of sacks against the Giants last weekend after missing all of 2020 with an ankle injury.
All four AFC West teams started off the season with a win, but the Raiders, Chargers, and Chiefs all face tough matchups in Week 2.
Cornerback Patrick Surtain II ended up playing just 16 snaps in his first NFL game. But there's no more holding back Surtain now.
With Jerry Jeudy out, the Broncos depth is already being tested. But if there is one area where this team can rely on depth, it's at receiver.
Both Jerry Jeudy and Ronald Darby must spend at least three weeks on IR before they're eligible to return to the active roster.
Fans across the country were thoroughly entertained by the Manning brothers in their Monday Night Football debut.
Jerry Jeudy's ankle injury isn't as bad as originally feared. Jeudy was carted off the field in New Jersey with what looked like a serious ankle injury.
Game balls went to newcomers George Paton and Teddy Bridgewater and to old-timer Von Miller following Denver's 27-13 demolition of the New York Giants in their opener.
Take the CBS4 Fan Poll.
Teddy Bridgewater threw two touchdowns in his first start for Denver and the Broncos dominated possession and beat the Giants 27-13 on Sunday, spoiling the return of New York running back Saquon Barkley after a long ACL rehabilitation.
The Broncos haven't made the playoffs or won 11 or more games since they won the Super Bowl. If they do what Denver Mayor Michael Hancock expects, they will do both this season.
Former Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall, who was a starter on the Broncos Super Bowl 50 defense which finished the season ranked first in the NFL, sees similarities between the 2021 defense and his former team.
Coach Vic Fangio had been saying he expected Bradley Chubb to be ready to play Sunday but this week he said Chubb's injury was worse than he thought it was last week.
