And could Thursday be the last on the sideline for their coach? The Denver defense held that high-powered Falcons offense pretty well in check.
Here is the insane thing about the New Orleans Saints, minus the loss to the Falcons, this is a team that has been in every game that it has played.
It was on the offensive side where the Broncos lost the game.
Starting quarterback Trevor Siemian did not play last week due to a shoulder injury, but is expected to be healthy enough to start against the Chargers. The young quarterback threw for 223 yards and a touchdown but also showed his youth many times throughout the contest. Lynch was also sacked six times by the Falcons, who had four sacks in their first four games combined.
According to Mike Klis of KUSA in Denver: Kubiak addressed the team at his postgame meeting Sunday in the locker room. San Diego will enter the game thinking they have a chance, and they may even take an early lead, but these two teams are on different levels, and the Broncos will have a dominating night, blowing out their division rivals 34-10. Green thinks he can return Thursday. He’s been an National Football League special teams coach since 1988, when he debuted with the Broncos and stayed for five seasons before following Dan Reeves to NY as Phillips, previously the Denver DC, ascended to the position of head coach.
During this short stay in the hospital, Kubiak underwent several precautionary tests, including an MRI and a CT scan.
In November 2013, while coaching the Houston Texans, Kubiak collapsed on the field during halftime of a game against the Indianapolis Colts and was hospitalized for two nights after suffering a transient ischemic attack (TIA), or mini-stroke.
Special-teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis will be the Broncos’ interim coach this week.
Wait, who? The special teams coordinator? He returned 10 days later, but was sacked soon after. Kubiak will remain away from the Broncos for one week for recuperation and will miss Thursday night’s game against the Chargers in San Diego. On Sunday, it was in a 34-31 loss in Oakland. But rookie holder Drew Kaser flat out dropped a flawless snap.
As Elway began his press conference at 2 p.m. local time, he said Kubiak was headed home.
Atlanta leads the league in scoring offense averaging 35 points per game. Jeremiah Sirles has stepped in for Smith, who was the sixth overall pick in the 2009 draft by Cincinnati. Last season, the Ravens had the second-most total net yards in team history but went 5-11. The Raiders are this years version of the cardiac kids, winning several games in the final minute of action, while the Chiefs are coming off a bye and looking to rebound off a disastrous trip to Pittsburgh last weekend. The problem was 8-8 felt like a big letdown following five straight wins to open the season.
