Broncos receive positive grades against depleted Panthers, but tougher challenges lie ahead.
In the latest game, the Broncos took on the Panthers and showed a dominant performance on both offense and defense. With a final score of 28-7, it was clear that this was one of their strongest showings yet.

On the offensive side, rookie quarterback Bo Nix stepped up and proved himself with four total touchdowns. He was able to stay calm and focused in the pocket, delivering precise passes all over the field. This was a remarkable feat considering the lack of pressure from the Panthers' defense. In fact, this was only the second time in coach Sean Payton's tenure that the Broncos scored four offensive touchdowns in a single game, and the fourth time in the last three seasons. Some may argue that the Broncos struggled with their running game early on, but it didn't seem to affect their overall performance. After a shaky start with a fumble and a punt, Nix and his team were able to score touchdowns on four out of five of their next possessions.

The Broncos' defense also had a strong showing, despite a rough start. They allowed the Panthers to score a touchdown on their first drive, but from then on, they were able to shut them down. Led by Vance Joseph, the defense only allowed one first down from the first quarter until late in the third quarter. They also had two interceptions, one by Pat Surtain II and another by Ja'Quan McMillian. This type of lockdown performance has become the norm for this talented group.

The special teams also had a solid outing, with the punt team making a big impact. Punter Riley Dixon had a fantastic punt that was tipped by Tremon Smith and then downed by Lucas Krull at the 1-yard line. This was just one of the many impressive plays by the special teams this season.

Overall, the Broncos' coaching staff did an excellent job of keeping the team focused and motivated throughout the game. They made sure that the team didn't underestimate the Panthers, even though they were favored to win by a large margin. Payton also strategically used this game as an opportunity to get Nix in rhythm before facing tougher opponents in the upcoming weeks. By dropping Nix back 29 times in the first half alone, they were able to build his confidence and get him comfortable in the pocket. Now, the question is whether they can continue to use this strategy and achieve even greater success in the next few games.
