Broncos Win Big Over Rams
Broncos- 35
Rams- 21
DENVER, CO- The Broncos offense completely tore it up today as they ran and threw all over the Rams. Donovan McNabb had his first real good game today, passing for 298 yards with 4 TD's and a INT. But the real story was Knowshon Moreno running all over the Rams going 104 yards in 20 attempts. This year was a make or break year for the offensive rookie of the year. A lot of people wondered if he would have a sophomore slump, but so far, so good.
Eddie Royal once again proved he was a #1 receiver with a huge day. 7 receptions for 102 yards and 2 TDs. Royal has quickly become McNabb's favorite target. At the beginning of the year it looked like the Marshall trade was gonna bite the Broncos, and that Royals had too big of shoes to fill. But so far, he's stepped his game up big time.
The defense did their job, but they didn't do anything big. No interceptions, and their only sack coming from Jarvis Moss. Rookie Koney Ford had a big day though, forcing, and recovering a fumble as he stuffed the running game all day. Ford looks to be the real deal at DT.
In conclusion, a real big win for the Broncos, starting 1-2, this was a must win to stay in contention this early in the season and they helped themselves out big time.
