Know your enemy: The Denver Broncos
Brace yourselves, Who Dat Nation. Vonn Miller and the Denver Broncos are coming to town. The Saints need to come ready to play if they want to advance to 5-4.
The Saints have a shot at finally getting to that winning record this week. So first, the good news: they’re hot, and at home in NO. And now the bad news: they’re playing the defending Super Bowl champs, the Denver Broncos.
But Vegas oddsmakers, somehow, favor the Saints coming into the matchup. I don’t necessarily agree, but I see where they’re coming from. The Broncos rank near the bottom of the league in run defense, and are without star CB Aqib Talib and emerging DE Derek Wolfe. So there is some reason to hope. But they still have Vonn Miller and Demarcus Ware, and a deep secondary.
So considering the Saints may be without Terron Armstead, it’s hard to feel comfortable with the matchup. Andrus Peat and Zach Streif, who missed practice today for non-injury reasons, will need to really hold it down against Miller if the Saints want a chance at this.
