GLENDALE, Arizona – Prior to the game, it was of little importance to the rest of the country, but had huge consequences for the competitors involved, Broncos president Joe Ellis and general manager John Elway. met privately and apparently, disturbingly, in front of the players' bench. .
They did not seem to talk about the beauty of the State Farm stadium with its open roof. Although maybe a little bit.
By entering the game, rumors were that Vance Joseph might lose his position as head coach if the Broncos were beaten by the modest Cardinals.
Perhaps, understanding the gravity of the situation, Broncos star Von Miller is premeditated to step on the podium Tuesday and promised "We will kick their ass."
At half-time, Joseph was safe, smart and solid in his coaching position, while Miller was perfectly entitled to pronounce, "we told you". The Broncos then headed the Arizona Cardinals, 45-10, on Thursday night before a high percentage of Broncos fans. Apparently, over the years, some Broncos fans have decided to retire to the desert because they have come forward to take control of the crowd. The Broncos were up 35-3 at halftime, the third biggest advance at intermission in the team's history.
Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay added a 28-yard touchdown in the third quarter, created by quarterback Miller of Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen, who seemed far from ready to play at an effective level. NFL caliber. Miller added a second Rosen bag in the fourth quarter, allowing Brandon McManus to score.
Denver's then-beleaguered defense had two six selections, five total points and six sacks – two by Miller and rookie Bradley Chubb, who now has five sacks in his last two games – while Emmanuel Sanders scored twice with huge spinoffs. For the attack, the Broncos could not have played better, even though their opponent is now 1 to 6. The Broncos are 3-4 after breaking their four-game losing streak. the headquarters of the head coach.
It seems now that Joseph has fired Mike McCoy for a second year in a row. McCoy was the offensive coordinator for the Broncos last season, until he was fired after the ninth game. McCoy got another offensive coordinator position, this time with the Cardinals, who are 32nd in the 32-team NFL.

And they played even worse than that in the first period. In the second half of the match, Denver defensive end Derek Wolfe snatched a pass from rookie quarterback Josh Rosen in the air. The ball landed in the arms of linebacker Todd Davis, who caught him back to the line of scrimmage, turned around and went into the end zone 20 yards for a 7-0 lead.
This is then the Keenum affair and the Broncos offensive. Keenum moved the Broncos smartly over the field, converting a third and a 6 with a nice right pass for Demaryius Thomas.
In the first raid of Arizona 28, Keenum reversed the backhand of Sanders, who was moving from left to right. Sanders sent a spiral to the goal line where rookie Courtland Sutton managed a nice dive for a touchdown. It was 14-0 Broncos.
After the Cardinals had a 43-yard field goal by Phil Dawson, the Denver D became integrated again. This time, cornerback Chris Harris Jr., intercepting his teammate, intercepted a Rosen pass for another receiver. A determined Harris made some cuts and returned it to 53 yards for a touchdown.
The Broncos were up 21-3 after having two, six picks in the same game since the first game in 1989, when Tyrone Braxton and Randy Robbins got TD's return against Steve DeBerg of Kansas City.
In the first scrimmage match in the second quarter, Keenum made a mistake of sense, an action-game, rolled right and shot deep into Sanders, who was wide open on a board. Sanders caught him and – even though he said he'd never do it again – made a somersault forward on the goal line to complete a touchdown in the 64-yard game.
He was 28-3 and with Arizona's ineffective attack and rookie quarter having no chance against Denver's defense, the match was practically over.
Sanders became the first Broncos player since Elway was a quarterback in the first game of 1986 with a touchdown and touchdown in the same game. The Broncos then culminated in their most dominant memory with a 15-part sequence that lasted more than 6 1/2 minutes and ended with a 1-meter touchdown by Royce Freeman.
The Broncos suffered two major injuries in the match. Safety at the start, Darian Stewart left with a neck injury and rookie DaeSean Hamilton suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury after being tackled while he was attempting a good grip on a punt. Brandon Williams of Arizona was penalized 15 yards for offense, but that's Hamilton who suffered a lot more.
The Broncos have not only broken their four-game losing streak, but they will be rewarded for the weekend before returning Monday to start preparations for a match against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on October 28th.
