After recording four consecutive losses to open the 2019 season, the Denver Broncos (1-4) finally got their first win with a 20-13 road win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
The next game will be against the Tennessee Titans (2-3), who dropped their latest home game to the Buffalo Bills, 14-7. Kickoff is set for 3:25 p.m. CT on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High.
Here are three Broncos players to keep an eye on Sunday afternoon.
1. LB Von Miller.
Miller is one of the best players this team has, and is the heart and soul of the pass rush. In fact, the Broncos really don’t have a reliable pass rusher outside of the veteran. Bradley Chubb was a factor in the past, but is out for the season with a torn Achilles. If the Titans can keep Miller at bay, the passing game could find rhythm.
2. LB Malik Reed.
The undrafted free agent out of Nevada has drawn attention in Denver after he replaced Chubb last week. He’s posted six tackles and one sack with limited snaps in 2019, and Miller has already drawn comparisons between he and Shaq Barrett.
3. WR Emmanuel Sanders.
On his sixth year with the team, Sanders could add to his place in the Broncos history books on Sunday. If he catches two passes, he’ll reach a total of 400 receptions with the Broncos.
If he manages 150 receiving yards, he’ll move past Haven Moses (5,450) at ninth place in all-time receiving yards. Regardless of whether he manages this, expect him to be a major factor in the Denver passing game.
