2008 Week 3 - vs. New Orleans Saints

In the beginning of the game, I liked to see how the Broncos offense was making plays. I also liked how their defense was in the beginning against the Saints offense along with the sack. Most of the plays the Broncos made on offense were to Brandon Marshall, #15. The Broncos were able to move the ball in the first half and were able to stop the offensive plays of the Saints early on. The halftime score was 24-19, Broncos.

The Saints at halftime had improved on their offense, with Drew Brees, the quarterback, and Reggie Bush, the running back. It was a tightly fought game, with Martin Gramatica missing two field goals. Reggie Bush and Patrick Thomas put most of the points on the board for the New Orleans Saints, with three touchdowns between them. Drew Brees also made some big plays with one 74 yard pass from the Saints 20 to Robert Meachem. Bronco Marlin McCree #33 made the tackle at the 5, but Brees passed to Bush on the next play for a touchdown.

I liked how Matt Prater looked when kicking our field goals.

I didn’t like how the Saints, because of our three-man line in the second half, were able to make some big gains. We weren’t putting enough pressure on the quarterback with that three-man line.

Why did the Broncos win?
Both teams were doing good, but because the Saints' Martin Gramatica missed a 50-yard field goal, the Broncos won 34-32.

Best offense: Hard to say. Both teams were good at certain times
Best defense: Broncos, but Mike McKenzie made quite a few good plays along with an interception.
Best special teams: Broncos
