Text 4broncos to 66247 sign up for CBS4 Broncos text alerts The Denver Broncos take on the "Boston" Patriots next Sunday for a Legacy Game celebrating the 50th season for the eight original American Football League teams. The teams will wear historic uniforms for the occasion.
Former New England Patriot LaMont Jordan happened to be the guest host on Monday night's Comcast Broncos Live! broadcast. The running back talked with CBS4 Broncos Insider Vic Lombardi about the "Patriot Way" and if the Broncos are using it this season, considering the ties between the teams. Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels previously served under Patriots head coach Bill Belichick as the as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
"First and foremost, the Broncos are putting in the 'Broncos Way,'" Jordan said. "I know we come from New England but we're in Denver right now. The Patriot Way is the Patriot Way, but what you're seeing right now is the Broncos Way."
When McDaniels came to coach the Broncos, he said he wanted a tough, smart and physical team. Jordan says so far, that's exactly what McDaniels has.
"One thing with this team is we are very humble; very focused on what the ultimate prize is and we focus more on the things that we need to work on," Jordan said.
The Broncos have seemed to relish in being doubted and once again Denver is considered an underdog when the Patriots come to town.
"It's never about the other team. It's always about us and we're 4-0, but we're playing against a team this week that you cannot make mistakes against," Jordan said. "If there's one thing they do, they capitalize on your mistakes. So if we can come out and execute our plays and make sure we're disciplined in a all three phases of the game I think we'll be fine."
So far this season Jordan has only 17 rushing attempts for 50 yards over the first four games. But with running back Correll Buckhalter nursing an ankle sprain, Jordan expects to see more playing time.
"It's an opportunity for me to get back on the field but more importantly it's an opportunity for us to get another big victory," Jordan said. "We have a good team coming in here this weekend and it's definitely going to be a test. If we just go out there and do our job, I think we'll be fine."
Free agent signee Andre Goodman was the guest on Comcast Broncos Live! The cornerback commented on how Champ Bailey saw most of the action last week against the Cowboys as quarterback Tony Romo seemed to pick on Bailey most of the game -- but Bailey lived up to his reputation.
"I think for him it was exciting because he hasn't seen that much work in a long time," Goodman said. "I think he proved why he is one of the best in the game."
Goodman said he thinks he got out of the game a little bit since he rarely had a ball thrown his way.
"It was a little surprising. I think I went midway through the third quarter without seeing a ball," Goodman said.
Goodman signed a 5-year, $20.4 million contract with the Broncos in March. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions and also played for the Miami Dolphins.
The Broncos host the "Boston" Patriots on Sunday at 2:15 p.m. at Invesco Field at Mile High. The game can be seen on CBS4.
