As we know, the better team does not always win in every matchup — and that was certainly the case in this game, in which Denver pulled out a win on the road despite being outperformed by the Titans.
The Broncos abandoned the run, for the most part, early on and were forced to throw the ball 50+ times for the second consecutive week. Managing only 19 yards rushing, thanks mostly to an offensive line that couldn’t handle Tennessee’s ferocious D-line (-17.9 run block). Denver will need a much better performance from its line against Baltimore. There is no excuse now that RT Ryan Harris and RG Chris Kuper are fully healthy.

C catching/C blocking
Our OL sucks at Run blocking period, this is 2 games in a row of complete trash for daniels and Kuper....if they dont fix it quick a guard will be needed to push the crap out of them next year, could be injuries and inexperience, but if teh ywant jobs next year they better get it fixed.....also maroney is a joke and billicheck schooled us by getting a 4th for him......lloyd, royal, orton are saving this team right now on offense....clady and harris also had big trouble on teh edge against pass rush, and as mUg stated graham had a bad blocking game as well....
Key Defensive Grades
(46 plays) Justin Bannan had a B-
B run defense/C- pass rush/1 QB hit
(40 plays) Jamal Williams had a C

C+ run defense/C pass rush
(14 plays) Darcel Mcbath had a C-
C- pass defense/C- run defense
(19 plays) Nathan Jones had a C-
C run defense/C- pass defense
keep in mind C is not a bad grade the concerns are the D, and F grades those were bad games......luckily for us we stopped chris johnson but that 54 yarder really hurt some run defense scores, pass coverage was so so, but vince couldnt get it done....give our guys credit, while no one played spectacular as a individual in any one area on the defense, they play as a team and are able to get each others backs...first half splits look pretty rough, they had a beastly second half though on defense
