In the immediate aftermath of the Denver Broncos loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, it seemed everyone across the NFL had something to say about Jerry Jeudy’s performance. Five drops on 14 targets is a rough outing, and when your team loses by a single field goal it’s easy to remember the dropped pass when one occurred on the final drive of the game.
With just one week left in the regular season, it’s time to accept Jeudy’s rookie season didn’t go as hoped. As tends to be the case, there’s a number of reasons for that. We’re so far past the lack of training camp at this point it feels like little more than a convenient excuse, but it’s also a valid one. Courtland Sutton’s early injury meant the rookie wouldn’t have a true number one to draw coverage and tough assignments. The Broncos also started four different quarterbacks this year and that kind of dysfunction doesn’t help anyone on the offense. The QB1 Drew Lock also had some rather shaky passes mixed in.
Copied!
DENVER After a big road win against the Carolina Panthers, the Broncos return home to Empower Field at Mile High to see if they can back up that performance against stronger competition.
With a win, the Bills would clinch the AFC East for the first time since 1995, and Josh Allen and Co. are fresh off a prime-time win over the previously top-seeded Steelers.
Allen isn t the only talented young quarterback in this matchup, though, as Drew Lock won FedEx Air Player of the Week honors after a four-touchdown day in Carolina. It s clear Lock s development is still in progress, but he ll have a chance Saturday to prove he s on the path to performing like Allen, a dark-horse MVP candidate who has made a big jump in 2020.

Broncos Country Tonight brought on WHAM Rochester Bills Anchor Dan Fetes onto their show to discuss the Denver Broncos game against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.
One of the key points they discussed was how the Broncos might contain Josh Allen and the Stefon Diggs duo in that game. The two have become one of the best qb/wr duos in the NFL in 2020.
The Broncos will need to do that with a heavily depleted secondary that will be missing starters A.J. Bouye and Bryce Callahan, along with most of their primary backups as well with Essang Bassey, Duke Dawson, and Kevin Toliver all done for the year with ACL injuries. They will need to rely on rookie Michael Ojemudia and journeyman De’Vante Bausby. They also brought back Will Parks who will be the nickel cornerback.
