It was only a smattering of plays on a rainy August night in Chicago in a game that didn't count, but Broncos running back Willis McGahee said it's a sign of things to come.
"If you think about it, you have Peyton Manning and you have this offense that is a running offense," McGahee said. "You have Peyton Manning throwing the ball when he wants to and he has a run game when he needs it. That's a lot for a defense to think about."
In the era of B.M. — Before Manning — or at least in the season before Manning's arrival in Denver, the Broncos tied for the NFL lead in rushing attempts (546) and led the league in rushing with 2,632 yards. The bulk of that damage to defenses came from an option-based offense built for Tim Tebow.
