Mile High Report
The Denver Broncos dominated in their ‘get right’ game last week after back-to-back walk-off losses. At 2-2, they are in must-win mode, while the Philadelphia Eagles at 4-0 have won every single game by one score. It hasn’t been easy for them either, but they keep finding ways to pull out the win each time. Will that streak continue in Week 5?

Hopefully those of us who think they’ll lose are wrong on Sunday.

They thrive off of turnovers and special teams. If Denver can limit their mental mistakes, play clean football, and resemble any bit of the team from Monday night, they can pull off the upset. – Ross Allen
While I am hopeful that this won’t happen, I still have PTSD from the last time the Broncos played the Eagles in Philly. It was the only time I have seen the Broncos in-person and the Broncos got absolutely embarrassed. I know that this is not the same Eagles team or the same Broncos team, but I have a bad feeling about this game. I think the Eagles are going to expose our ILBs and OLBs in run support and set a precedent for how to attack this defense. – Joe Mahoney
This will be a tough game for the Broncos to win. The Eagles have been great at home over the past few seasons. Even though their offense has struggled this season, they have a lot of playmakers to account for. On defense, they have struggled to defend the...
