This is exactly what Broncos had imagined when he won the Melvin Gordon running back in the summer.
Having multiple weapons in the backfield with Gordon and Philip Lindsay should have given Denver the opportunity to use these weapons to make stronger attacks. Given Drew Lock’s recent struggle in quarterbacks, Broncos’ run game was the difference between Denver’s wins over the Dolphins team, who won five games in a row.
“In the end, we came with an attitude,” Lindsay said. “You have to be able to be consistent with the run game. That’s the end.”
Lindsey hurried 82 yards and Gordon added another 84 yards. The pair had a total of 31 carries and an efficient carry of 5.4 yards per carry.
“When you have bad play, you still do it. If you have good play, you go back to it,” Lindsay added. “I don’t know when to break, so I have to be consistent no matter what I do. Plus, it puts your offensive line in the groove.”
Lindsay broke through an important 20-yard carry. Gordon added a 25-yard carry and a 20-yard rush to the end zone at the beginning of the third quarter. The duo triggered a struggling attack and later saw Rock start the game.
Locke finished the game without a touchdown, but the young man threw 270 yards. If his game can match the efforts of Lindsay and Gordon, Broncos could add more impressive wins in the coming weeks.
“They were great,” Rock told the duo. “Phil-I’m not sure how much Phil was talked about in the media, or whether he was excited or shot down, but he acknowledges a great deal of credit for this run game and this attack. You deserve to watch a play in the field, but he’s in the locker room — he was chatting from last year to this year — it’s a completely different Phil. I as he is the leader in this crime. And in general I was very impressed with how I made progress as a soccer player. “
Lindsay added: “You can win all the rest of these games. It’s the NFL. We all do the same. It’s about running. There’s no science in it. You can put together all the cute stuff. , After all, can you beat them in front? Can you get 5 yards? Can you get 10 yards? Can you get 15? Can you touch down? Can you turn those first downs into touchdowns? You do that, that’s all. “
Broncos has a chance to continue a powerful run game with 7-3 New Orleans Saints on Sunday. They don’t have Star Quarterback Drew Brees.
