You can chalk the Denver Broncos up for another win but it was not a pretty one. Again the leg of Jason Elam bailed out the Broncos as they beat their division rival Oakland Raiders 23-20 in overtime.
Bronco fans are thankful or should be thankful their team is 2-0 but I am here to say their is a bit of concern.
The offense has looked impressive in the first two week of the season. In fact, the team has averaged 455 yards of offense in the first two games. So whats the problem? The Broncos have only scored 38 points. For the second year in a row, fans are grumbling about the red-zone offense. Cecil Sapp left, Travis Henry right and Travis Henry up the middle on first and goal from the nine just isn't working.
Another concern Bronco fans have is the run defense. The team gave up a career high of 159 yards rushing to Raiders running back LaMont Jordan. It basically looked like the Bronco's defensive linemen were on roller skates.
The whole idea of bringing in 350 pound defensive tackle Sam Adams was to pug running holes and allow the linebackers to make the tackles. This has yet to be scene.
The Broncos look to improve the rush defense Sunday afternoon when they host the Jacksonville Jaguars at Invesco Field at Mile High.
