Are the Denver Broncos Strong Super Bowl Contenders?

Are the Denver Broncos Strong Super Bowl Contenders?

With Sundays win against the New Orleans Saints, the Broncos now have a record of 4-3, first in the AFC west division just ahead of San Diego Chargers who are now 3-4. After a two game winning streak, the Broncos look to keep it going. With what seems to be an easier schedule from now on, it seems as if Broncos are very capable of reaching the playoffs as an elite team. Denver now ranked number 9 in the power rankings is sure to be a team to be reckoned with.

Peyton Manning is surely living up to the expectations; he is throwing more than 300 yards for the past five games. With the tough schedule they faced in the first weeks of the season D. Thomas and E. Decker did not seem to show what they were capable of doing, but now they seem to be on the same page as Manning. D. Thomas seems to be the number 1 choice of Manning and is in the making of being a dynamic duo. Against the Saints, Thomas had a total of 137 receiving yards and a touchdown so we are sure to see more passes thrown to him now that he seems to have Manning’s trust. P. Manning is still showing that he is in tiptop shape. He was explosive in the passing game and was able to read the Saints defense like a book.

Let us not forget about the Bronco secondary team that held Drew Brees to only 213 yards when he was averaging 358 yards per game. Having controlled that offense, which is ranked number one in passing yards, to only two touchdowns is no easy task.

In my opinion, Manning has led these Broncos to become strong contenders to reach the Super Bowl. We hope to see more of the great #18 and continue this winning streak against the Bengals this Sunday.
