the loss After practicing together during the
week

the Broncos and the Bears now got to finally square off in official game action.
Tonight saw the first team offense and defense get more minutes than we saw last
week, as both sides of the ball looked to get back on track after a slow start
last week.1st QuarterChicago started with the ball so we got a chance to see the
first team (sort of) defense start the game. They looked pretty good except for
a personal foul on Yiadom. He looked alright so far in coverage, and coming up
to make the tackle as he got more opportunities to play 2nd corner with Harris
sitting out.The Bears looked to break a big run off the left tackle, but it was
rightly called back, as Bradley Chubb was being held.A good creative blitz by
Joe Woods on 3rd down forced an incomplete pass on a 3rd and long led to Chicago
missing a long field goal.Denver¡¯s offense took over in good field position, but
quickly went three and out again. Denver tried a fleaflicker and had DaeSean
Hamilton wide open, but Keenum was hit as he threw it, forcing the ball a little
out of reach.Fair catch at the 5 yard line after an excellent punt by Marquette
King backed the Bears up in the shadow of their goal posts.The Bears tried to
gain a little bit of breathing room, but Brandon Marshall and Todd Davis were
having none of it as the former burst through the line for a great tackle for
loss on 1st down. Second down, Davis stuffs the runner for little gain. Broncos
run defense looks back to normal.Observation: Looks like Denver is going pretty
basic in preseason on 3rd and longs. Not a lot of Nascar packages or anything
crazy, as to not show their hand.Mitch Trubisky missed the snap in the end zone,
reminiscent of Super Bowl 48, which led to Bradley Chubb scoring the first
points of the game on a safety.Broncos 2, Bears 0.The drive started with a good
return from McKenzie, he¡¯s looking much improved.Early on in the drive, Case
Keenum had plenty of time and hit DaeSean Hamilton over the middle for a big
gain and Denver¡¯s first team¡¯s first 1st down of the preseason (a lot of
firsts!)Denver continued to move down the field through the air, gaining another
first down on a nicely designed screen pass to Jeff Heuerman. Later, a good
blitz pickup by Royce Freeman and offensive line held up as Keenum hit Emmanuel
Sanders on a nice out route which allowed Andy Janovich to convert another first
down on a short pass.A personal foul called on the Bears put Denver in the red
zone. Offensive pass interference backed Denver up to a long first and goal from
the 18. Offensive line held up well so in pass protection, but Keenum over-shot
two potential touchdown passes as he looked a little out of sync early on,
forcing Denver to settle for a field goal.Broncos 5, Bears 0.Good call by the
officials catching the Bears on offensive pass interference on a 3rd down
conversion to set the Bears up in a 3rd and long.Isaac Yiadom was then called on
an extremely ticky tack defensive pass interference which extended the Bears
drive. Excellent coverage by Denver¡¯s corners wasn¡¯t enough as Anthony Miller
pulled down a great catch to move the Bears into scoring position.Will Parks,
who had been playing well so far in camp and the preseason went down with a knee
injury. Denver is very thin in the secondary now.The Bears end the first quarter
knocking on the door to the end zone with a first and goal coming up.2nd
QuarterThe Bears score a quick touchdown to the tight end as no one covered him
in the flat off of a play action. Von Miller and Darian Stewart were in the
vicinity, but not sure who was responsible in coverage. Bears 7, Broncos
5.Denver came charging back out on offense with a good conversion from Emmanuel
Sanders on a Keenum pass. Two plays later, Keenum was sacked after holding the
ball a tick too long as the defensive lineman pushed through Ronald Leary for
the hit.The Broncos kept things moving down the field on the back on the
Keenum/Sanders connection as they continue their chemistry from camp. However,
Keenum continued to miss passes high early in the game.Courtland Sutton almost
went up a got a big deep ball, but was interfered with, setting up Denver on the
goal line which allowed Royce Freeman to maneuver through the line for a
touchdown. Good running by Freeman showing a good cut and good vision. Denver
went for
two
Youth
Adam Gotsis Jersey , and Keenum hit Jeff Heuerman on a slant to the right
after looking left.Broncos 13, Bears 7.The first team defense continued to stay
on the field, except for Von Miller. Todd Davis made an incredible stop on a 3rd
and long screen pass, chasing the running back down and pulling him back just
short of the first down marker. Vance Joseph with a nice challenge of the play
after it was originally called a first down.It was all for naught as Chicago
converted on a 4th and 1 sneak.However, Justin Simmons made an amazing play
jumping a route over the middle while covering a (wait for it) running back! The
Broncos first team defense looked pretty good in their second preseason game
after coming out flat the first week.Chad Kelly stepped on the field for the
first time as Keenum took a seat. He leaned heavily on the running game, as
Booker and Freeman converted two first downs on the drive.Kelly put the cherry
on top, however, as he rifled a pass up the seam to Courtlan Sutton for a
touchdown pass.Broncos 20, Bears 7.The Bears came back down the field on the
next drive as Denver began to mix in their second team defense and Marcus Rios
was beat on a long pass that set the Bears up in the red zone.DeMarcus Walker
made a great sack up the middle, splitting two offensive linemen, forcing the
Bears into a 3rd and long, which Denver was all over. This forced the Bears to
settle for a long field goal.Broncos 20, Bears 10.The Broncos offense looked
much better in the first half, and the first team defense was improved as well.
Both sides of the ball came out with better energy and execution than last week
giving the fans a much better product, but also much more hope for the 2018
season.3rd QuarterPhilips Lindsay came out of halftime with a big run, set up by
a really nice spin move. Receiver Tim Patrick kept the drive going with a great
grab where he had to catch the ball over the defender.Penalties stalled the
drive in the red zone, but Denver was able to convert a field goal attempt to at
least get on the score board. All-in-all a good drive that ate a lot of clock
and furthered Denver¡¯s lead.Broncos 23, Bears 10.Denver¡¯s new linebacker,
Alexander Johnson made a splash on special teams, rocking the kickoff
returner.The Broncos defense forced a quick 3 and out, but a roughing the passer
penalty by Garcia-Williams kept the Bears moving, but the defense forced a punt
a few plays later.Chad Kelly and a personal foul penalty moved Denver down the
field, but they were forced to punt went Kelly swung for the fences on a deep
ball and just barely missed wide receiver, Tim Patrick on the right sideline. He
needs to put a little bit more air under that throw next time.Broncos defense
force another punt as the Bears struggle get anything going offensively. Chad
Kelly is finished for the night and Paxton Lynch steps on the field at the 1:48
mark in the 3rd.Lynch missed his first throw low, but came back on 3rd down with
a nice run escaping the pocket and finding daylight for a 1st down to end the
quarter.4th QuarterThe offense stalled as Lynch continued to look uncomfortable
in the pocket after his first read was not there. A dropped pass didn¡¯t help
either. Fortunately, Marquette King was money tonight with two punts dropping
inside the opponents 5 yard line. Philip Lindsay, who is making a strong case to
be on this team, made a nice tackle on special teams to set the Bears
up

again, inside their own five.Denver¡¯s defense looked stout again, as McDonald
garnered a sack on 3rd down on a stunt.After another punt from Denver, the Bears
sustained a long drive that ended in a touchdown pass from Chase Daniel, putting
the Bears within striking distance to comeback.Broncos 23, Bears 17.The 4th
quarter was all Bears as Denver¡¯s offense, led by Paxton Lynch was unable to do
anything most of the quarter, and Chicago backup Chase Daniel picked on the 3rd
team defense for two scores.The offense had a chance at a potential game winning
drive with under two minutes left. Lynch completed a few nice passes to Isaiah
McKenzie, and was helped by a Bears penalty, but a fumble by McKenzie killed the
comeback attempt.Despite the 4th quarter collapse by the 3rd teamers, the
Broncos 1s and 2s looked much better than they did last week. A lot of rookies
and young guys made plays with Chubb, Sutton, and Freeman all scoring points,
and Chad Kelly looking solid again. Plenty to be excited about and look forward
to for Broncos fans this season.Final: Bears 24, Broncos 23.Broncos starters
should play at least a half against Redskins The Denver Broncos first-team
offense and defense has progressively played more in each game. The offense
played just six snaps in the first game due to two consecutive three and outs,
but ended up playing a solid quarter and a half in the second game.Head Coach
Vance Joseph isn¡¯t going to base the first-team¡¯s playing time off of snaps
against the Washington Redskins. He¡¯ll be looking at overall progress before he
starts shifting in the backups.¡°We¡¯re not going to count snaps, we¡¯re going to
count progress again,¡± Joseph said on Wednesday. ¡°We¡¯ll see. Last week we played
about a quarter and a half, hopefully we can play more.¡±That likely means an
entire first half, but Joseph isn¡¯t ruling out some second half action for the
first-team.¡°We¡¯ll see,¡± Joseph said of the starters playing in the second half.
¡°I¡¯m not going to count snaps this week, I¡¯m going to count progress and see
where we are. We played a quarter and a half last week, so we¡¯re going to play
more this week.¡±Joseph stressed the idea of counting progress, which he alluded
further as meaning seeing positive football plays. Making progress for the
Broncos is moving the football on offense and generating some stops on defense.
The first-team did a lot of that on both sides of the ball last week against the
Chicago Bears.As for the quarterbacks, it should end up being the Case Keenum
and Chad Kelly show in this preseason game. It is unlikely we¡¯ll see much of
Paxton Lynch - if at all.¡°Case [Keenum] goes up first and Chad [Kelly] is going
to be second, and we¡¯ll see what¡¯s left for Paxton [Lynch],¡± Joseph said. ¡°Every
man dressed has a chance to play. That¡¯s how we¡¯re going to proceed right now
with the quarterbacks.¡±
