Any given Sunday. That’s an adage thrown out

about the NFL on a weekly basis. For those Denver Broncos fans with the thick orange and blue goggles http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/bradley-roby-jersey , that’s what they’re saying in the lead up to Sunday’s game at home against the Los Angeles Rams. We saw that play out once this season when the Buffalo Bills beat the Minnesota Vikings. So there is a chance Case Keenum and the Broncos (2-3) pull the unthinkable and give the Rams (5-0) their first loss of the season. There’s also a chance Vance Joseph turns into a legitimate head coach. As Adam Malnati and I said on the latest MHR Radio Podcast, with how the Broncos have looked the last three weeks, and most recently against the New York Jets, the chances of that coming to fruition are behind slim and none.Offensive RankingsLos Angeles Rams: First in overall offense (468.4 yards), seventh in rushing (131.2), second in passing (337.2) and third in points (34.6).Denver: Twelfth in overall offense (393.3 yards), third in rushing (137.0), 18th in passing (256.8) and 27th in points (20.0).Defense RankingsLos Angeles Rams: Ninth in overall defense (341.4 yards), tied for 18th in rushing (106.8) Authentic Bradley Chubb Jersey , tied for 10th in passing (234.6) and sixth in points (19.6).Denver: Twenty-sixth in overall defense (395.8 yards), 30th in rushing (139.6), 16th in passing (256.2) and tied for 23rd in points (26.2).Here are our keys to the game. Switch coaching staffs John Elway and the Broncos need to convince Wade Phillips to return to the Denver sideline. Heck, switch coaching staffs because that’s the only way this game is fair. — Ian St. Clair Run the ball Consistently. Especially in the red zone. It does us no good at all for our coaches to say “We need to run the ball more” only for them to turn around and run the ball even less. Yes, things did get to a point where running really wasn’t an option vs the Jets, but the coaches abandoned the running game well before we reached that point. Keenum has proven he can’t bear the full weight of the offense on his shoulders, so don’t ask him to. Keep it balanced. — Taylor Kothe Magic Pete BaronChoose an identity It’s time for the Broncos to figure out who they are. At this point the players look like they have given up, and the Rams aren’t exactly the best remedy for bad play. The remedy game was supposed to be the Jets. So Denver needs to pick an identity this week. Are the Broncos the running, smash-mouth offense with a fast http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/jared-veldheer-jersey , quarterback-crushing defense? Or are they the team that never got off the plane in New York? The turnover happy, unmotivated, disinterested team that is tired of talking about the “same shit for two years?” Either way, Denver needs to find an identity. I’m not sure there is anything beyond that that matters. — Adam Malnati Discipline The shoddy tackling and breakdowns in coverage that we saw against the Jets won’t fly against the best offense in the league, and against the best offensive coach in football. Sean McVay gets the defense in exactly the look he wants them and then exploits it. Denver is going to have to play disciplined football with its tackling and with its eyes in coverage, or else the Broncos will get blown out.Oh ya, and maybe try to score more than 10 points in the first three quarters this week, too. — Jeff Essary The MHR Radio Podcast is now on iTunes, Google Play http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/brandon-mcmanus-jersey , Spotify, Acast, Stitcher, TuneIn and a few other podcast hosts.

The Broncos have designated safety Su'a Cravens to return from injured reserve.Monday marked the first day to use the designation.The Broncos have three weeks to activate Cravens to the 53-player roster or he will remain on IR the remainder of the season. He is not eligible to play until Week Nine against the Texans, but Cravens can and will practice this week.“[Cravens] can practice,” Broncos coach Vance Joseph said Monday, via the team website. “Obviously it鈥檚 a short week. It鈥檚 a walkthrough today, walkthrough tomorrow and a couple fast periods on Wednesday http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/darian-stewart-jersey , but he鈥檚 back at practice.”Cravens dealt with a knee injury for most of the summer and missed the first three preseason games. He returned to play in the preseason finale before his knee flared up again.He underwent surgery soon after.Cravens, a second-round pick of Washington in 2016, was traded to Denver in the offseason. Cravens missed all of last season dealing with family issues and uncertain whether to continue his career.The Broncos also will see the return of receiver Jordan Taylor this week, Joseph announced. The Broncos placed Taylor on the physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp as he rehabbed from hip surgery.
