ENGLEWOOD — Some years ago – or maybe it was last March – the Broncos went on a free agent spending spree to reshape their offensive line. The cash confetti landed right tackle Mike McGlinchey, left guard Ben Powers, tight end Chris Manhertz and fullback Mike Burton.
The statistics suggest they should lean on it this week, playing keep away from Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Broncos are fourth in the NFL in yards per carry at 5.1, their success on the range due to the Double J Ranch duo of Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin. Williams is the Clydesdale of this ranch. McLaughlin is the racehorse. He is not quick. He is not fast. He is sudden. His run last week vs. the Packers widened the eyes. It set up as a classic foot-in-the-ground, downhill, cutback run when he took the handoff. Instead, he went right, went left, and then juked right, leaving Packers linebacker Quay Walker on roller skates. This is the type of instincts that explain his 6.
The Chiefs defense is better than anytime during their current seven-year dominance of the AFC West. However, Kansas City is vulnerable against the run – 106.7 yards per game. In the Broncos’ ugly 19-8 loss two weeks ago, Williams and McLaughlin posted 82 yards on 17 attempts, part of the team’s 115 ground output. The problem is that they managed 16 in the second half. Denver cannot win with such imbalance. The Broncos don’t pass well enough to make a one-dimensional attack sustainable.
