Tom-Jackson-Jersey

The Denver Broncos reeled off big run after big run against the soft underbelly of the Kansas City Chiefs defense.Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman ran roughshod over the Chiefs. Each scored a touchdown and Freeman eluded seven defenders and dragged a linebacker into the end zone on his 14-yard score.�We ran the ball well https://www.broncosfanstore.com/hoodie ,� Broncos quarterback Case Keenum said. �We started off so many series just pounding the rock at second-and-1, first-and-10. Even with some loaded boxes that K.C. brought, our offensive line played really well.�We�ve got to keep running the ball well. If we keep running the ball like we do, we�re going to win a lot of games.�Nobody could stop Lindsay and Freeman Monday night � except Broncos offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave, who abandoned his great ground game at key moments in the Broncos� 27-23 loss .That included a three-and-out series in which the Broncos lined up in three-receiver sets three times in between the Chiefs� final two drives, both of which ended in touchdowns as Patrick Mahomes rallied the Chiefs (4-0) back from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit.Lindsay ran for 69 yards on a dozen carries for a 5.8-yard average and Freeman ran for 67 yards on just eight hand-offs, a whopping 8.4-yard average.Lindsay�s long run was 19 yards and both Freeman and speedy wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders reeled off 18-yard runs.�They ran downhill, but you score points by throwing the football,� Broncos coach Vance Joseph said. �We ran the ball to control the game, but you throw the ball to score.�Clinging to a 23-20 lead, the Broncos didn�t burn enough clock to keep Mahomes on the sideline and give Denver�s exhausted defense enough of a breather.After a run for no gain, a catch for no gain and a sack, Marquette King shanked a 35-yard punt that gave the Chiefs the ball at midfield for their game-winning drive.The Chiefs ran well themselves Karl Mecklenburg Color Rush Jersey , with Kareem Hunt leading the way with 121 yards on 19 carries.�It was a big game,� Hunt said. �We�ve been up big on everyone we�ve played so far. It�s good to see where we�re at mentally and be able to fight back and come back in the fourth quarter down 10 points. That shows a team that�s not going to give up.�Other takeaways from the Chiefs� sixth straight victory over the Broncos:MAGIC MAHOMESPatrick Mahomes threw for 304 yards and a touchdown, a 2-yarder to tight end Travis Kelce that sparked the fourth-quarter comeback. That gave him 14 TDs and zero interceptions through the first month of the season.But the play everyone was talking was his 6-yard strike to Tyreek Hill with his left hand while getting pulled down by Von Miller .�I didn�t think about it at all,� Mahomes said. �I was just kind of scrambling left, I felt Von on my back and I knew I couldn�t throw it with my right hand. I knew we needed the first down, so I kind of shot-putted it to Tyreek. � You just have to get the ball in their hand somehow.��It caught me off-guard,� Hill said. �I�ve never seen a quarterback who is right-handed throw the ball left-handed.�Said Hunt: �I thought, is this dude a magician or something? He is doing things that you don�t see often.�Or ever, suggested Chiefs safety Eric Murray.�That one is new,� Murray said. �I�m glad we all got to see it.�Miller didn�t see it.He was wrapped around Mahomes� ankles trying to bring down the second-year star.�I didn�t know he threw it with his left hand,� Miller conceded.Neither did linebacker Shane Ray.�I didn�t see the hand switch,� Ray said. �I heard about it.�Along with everyone else.KEENUM CONUNDRUMThrough one month, Case Keenum isn�t the same quarterback who led the Minnesota Vikings to the NFC championship in January after injuries to Sam Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater.So far https://www.broncosfanstore.com/Tom-Jackson-Jersey , Keenum has just three touchdown passes to go with six interceptions with the Broncos after throwing for 22 TDs and just seven interceptions.�We believe in Case and he�s shown he can win games late for us,� Joseph said.Keenum nearly pulled off his third fourth-quarter comeback for the Broncos but he overthrew a wide-open Demaryius Thomas streaking down the Chiefs sideline with 16 seconds left from the K.C. 28.�It was close,� Keenum said. �I want to watch it on film. But it felt really close. There�s a few, especially those types of plays that I lose a little sleep over, thinking about it, laying at night in bed. It�s a tough one, it stings.�KING�S STINGThe Broncos brought in a practice squad punter to push King last week but he continued his disappointing first season in Denver by averaging just 41 yards on three punts with a paltry net of 28.7.His 35-yard duck gave the Chiefs the ball at their 40 with 4 1/2 minutes left.�He�s got to perform better,� Joseph said. �We�re at home and it�s his job to flip the field. It ain�t happening.�<div class=�stanzacal� data-width=�100%� data-height=�250px� ></div> <script src=�https://dff2h0hbfv6w4.cloudfront.net/scr...stanzacal-v1.js� type=�text/javascript�></script> For the first time in his life, Demaryius Thomas celebrated Brandon McManus missing a field goal.Thomas won his hasty homecoming Sunday when his ex-teammate�s windless 51-yard attempt drifted wide right, allowing the Houston Texans to escape Denver with 19-17 win .�We wanted him to walk out there as a captain and we wanted him to walk off the field as a winner,� J.J. Watt said of Thomas, whom the Texans (6-3) acquired five days earlier from the Broncos (3-6).Only, Thomas lost the coin flip and didn�t exactly walk off the field a winner � he sprinted.�I think that�s the fastest I ran all day Dennis Smith Jersey ,� Thomas said. �I ran inside. We got that W.�DeShaun Watson targeted Thomas three times and Thomas caught all three for 61 yards, including back-to-back grabs for 31 and 18 yards on Houston�s opening touchdown drive.But he stood to be the goat after a series of fourth-quarter follies that including a false start, lining up in the wrong spot � even having to run over and ask Watson what to do � and having to burn a timeout.�I messed up a couple of times and I felt like it would have been on me if we didn�t get that W,� Thomas said.�He was hearing one thing and doing the opposite,� Watson said. �I had to make sure he was on the same page as me. He did a good job. Some things we are going to fix.�The Texans joined the 1970 New York Giants as the only teams since the merger to win six straight following an 0-3 start.McMANUS� MISSESMcManus� second miss of the game came after Case Keenum completed an 18-yard pass between two defenders to Emmanuel Sanders on fourth-and-8 from the Denver 45-yard line with under a minute left.�Terrible kicks,� McManus said. �Even the 62-yarder, it was terrible.�Broncos coach Vance Joseph blamed himself for the first miss, saying he got greedy. It backfired when the Texans got the ball in Broncos territory and 18 seconds left in the first half and Ka�imi Fairbairn nailed a 46-yard do-over for a 16-10 Houston halftime lead after his errant attempt was wiped away because Joseph had called timeout to ice him.Joseph said he didn�t try to get closer for McManus� game-winning attempt because the Broncos had already reached their �line to go� inside the 35.�I was totally confident in Brandon,� Miller said. �From 62 and 51, my money�s on Brandon. He�s our sniper. He�s our brother. It�s one of the hardest positions in pro sports. Sometimes you just can�t put it through the uprights.�Said Keenum: �I knew Brandon was going to make it and I still know he�s going to make it when we give him that chance again. I think he�s the best kicker in the league.�Keenum threw a 5-yard pass to tight end Jeff Heuerman, who had a career-best 10 catches for 83 yards and then running back Phillip Lindsay lost a yard, leaving McManus with a 51-yard attempt.After the Broncos took a 17-16 lead on Keenum�s 12-yard dart to Heuerman between two defenders, Fairbairn put the Texans back ahead with a 37-yard field goal with 14:06 remaining.It turned out to be the game-winner when McManus missed again.�Seeing the kick go wide right was a breath of fresh air Terrell Davis Color Rush Jersey ,� Texans safety Tyrann Mathieu said.Particularly for Thomas.THOMAS TRIBUTEThomas had started all 114 games for the Broncos since Jan. 8, 2012, when he caught an 80-yard touchdown pass from Tim Tebow on the first snap of overtime to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-23.This time, he drew loud ovations when he emerged from the tunnel for pregame stretch and again during a video tribute after �The Star-Spangled Banner.�Outside the stadium, the Broncos put up a giant �Thank you, D.T.� banner at the bottom of a 10-story-high image of Thomas next to one of Von Miller, who said last week it was �super weird� not having Thomas as a teammate anymore.After Thomas lost the coin toss, Denver deferred and Thomas went right to work, catching consecutive passes covering 31 and 18 yards as the Texans took a quick 7-0 lead on Watson�s 7-yard TD pass to tight end Jordan Thomas .Watson�s 36th career TD throw was a 16-yarder to DeAndre Hopkins that put Houston ahead 13-3. The only other quarterbacks in NFL history to have 35 or more TD passes in their first 16 NFL games were Hall of Famers Kurt Warner and Dan Marino.INJURY REPORTTexans: OLB Duke Ejiofor left in the first half with a shoulder injury.Broncos: Center Matt Paradis broke his right fibula when Keenum rolled up on him just before halftime. Paradis had never missed a snap in his four-year career and appeared in line for a contract extension with the money the Broncos saved by trading Thomas.�It�s a huge loss,� Joseph said, �losing one of our captains and a guy who�s played a lot of football for us.�UP NEXTTexans: Travel to Washington on Nov. 18 after a bye.Broncos: Visit Los Angeles Chargers on Nov. 18 after a bye.
