The Denver Broncos had a lot of things stacked

The Denver Broncos had a lot of things stacked against them in their quest to open the season 3-0.They were coming across the country to play a tough Baltimore Ravens team bent on making amends for a blowout loss in Cincinnati last week. To make the task even more challenging http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-john-brown-jersey , the Broncos were short-handed in the defensive backfield, even before losing cornerback Tremaine Brock to a groin injury in the first quarter on Sunday.Then, another setback: With Denver down 17-14 in the second quarter, rookie running back Phillip Lindsay was ejected for throwing a punch in a scrum following a fumble.All that, along with a boatload of penalties, were too much to handle in a 27-14 defeat."We just got to play better," linebacker Von Miller said. "They got a great team, but there were moments in there where we could have had the game. When you go on the road and play a great team, you got to capitalize. You've got to put the ball in, you've got to get off the field on third down, you've got to do all of those things just to have a chance to win."We didn't do any of that stuff and we still had a shot to win until late in the game."Denver (2-1) took a 14-7 lead in the first quarter. Then, it all fell apart.The Broncos failed to score over the final 52 minutes, Miller went the entire afternoon without a sack and Denver racked up 13 penalties for 120 yards."We hurt ourselves with penalties Tavon Young Jersey ," Broncos running back Devontae Booker said. "We can't do that when we come into a hostile environment. It's something we need to learn from."Case Keenum went 22 for 34 for 192 yards, but he threw an interception and was sacked three times.Twice in the fourth quarter, he moved the Broncos into the red zone. An interception ended the first foray, and a fourth-down incompletion from the Baltimore 11 with three minutes left was his final pass."I've got to do a better job at getting the ball out at the correct time and to the correct receivers," Keenum said. "It was a lot of things for us today. I missed some guys when they were open, and it seems to me we had a lot of tipped balls."Well, seems as if both sides of the ball have a lot to work on this week before the Kansas City Chiefs come to Denver next Monday night for an AFC West showdown."We made too many mistakes and had too many penalties," Miller lamented. "When we practice, we don't have all those penalties. We have to clean that up."Ravens vs. Steelers final: MVP, stock-up, stock-down The game started out great. An early 14-0 lead with Tony Jefferson forcing a turnover and two-straight touchdowns from the Ravens offense made this look like a blowout. But it turned around quickly with an Alex Collins fumble on the goal line and breakdowns in the Ravens defensive coverage. In the end, the Baltimore defense shut out the Steelers in the second half for 26-14 victory.MVP: John BrownHe victimized Marlon Humphrey all training camp. It wasn�t because Marlon was bad, cause he isn�t; it�s because Brown is that good. He�s done it time and time again this season and there is no stopping him. In the end Terrell Suggs Jersey , Brown finished with 116 yards and a touchdown on three receptions!Stock upMarty Mornhinweg � Incredible playcalling. Unique looks and stayed aggressive throughout the game to push his offense to their third win of the season. Execution is the only thing standing between Baltimore and higher scoring production.Tony Jefferson � The first drive for the Steelers ended quickly as TJ stripped the ball from Vance McDonald. If not for McDonald�s ankle �tackling� Jefferson, he�d have a touchdown on the play.Willie Snead IV � Incredible catches to move the chains all game. Joe Haden did everything to stop him on a late drive but Snead still hauled in the tough first-down grab.Joe Flacco � Great completions across the board. He dominated tonight, no doubt about it. The franchise quarterback ended the night with 28 completions on 42 attempts. He completed two touchdowns, zero interceptions and produced a 109.5 QBR.Lamar Jackson � His plays were effective all game. He ran the ball and did his job.Maxx Williams � Five targets and five catches! Quite possibly the catch of the game with a trick play by Marty Mornhinweg.Anthony Levine � Co-Cap with two pass break-ups and an interception to seal the win for the Ravens.Justin Tucker � He�s the best. Ever. Don�t ever tell me otherwise.Brandon Carr � Touchdown pass breakups and great coverage all game.Javorius Allen � Moving piles and chewing clock. Buck came up big. He also caught two passes and Alex Lewis � He pulled as a guard too many times to count and always found himself making a block to gain ground for the running game.De�Lance Turner � Only a few snaps, but he made the most of them!Tim Williams � A late-game sack as he hit the inside move on Alejandro Villanueva. Nothing like getting a sack on Ben Roethlisberger.Second-half defense � Yet again, this defense has not allowed a second-half touchdown. The adjustments and approach by Wink and John Harbaugh are going great.Jimmy Smith � The Ravens are 3-1 without Jimmy. Now, �Beans� is back and it�s only going to get better.James Hurst � He�s done a fine job at right tackle these first four weeks. We all questioned this decision by Harbaugh and the front office. Credit where it�s due.Stock downAlex Collins � You can�t fumble. You can�t fumble on the goal line.Middle of the field coverage � Whether it is C.J. Mosley, Kenny Young, Patrick Onwuasor or the scheme structure of Don Martindale, this needs to be worked on. Far too many times, the Steelers tight ends and slot receivers found room to catch and run in the middle.
