NFL: Decimated G-Men defeat Broncos
Big surprise in Denver.The New York Giants (1-5) were plagued by serious injury worries and internal unrest as blatant outsiders to Mile High.Nevertheless, the G-Men found a way to win an unexpected victory against the Denver Broncos (3-2).

Without Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle fracture), Sterling Shepard (ankle injury), Dwayne Harris (foot fracture) and Brandon Marshall (strap injury in the ankle) as well as further abstinence on the defensive side, no one could have expected an away win for the previously victorious Giants in the run-up to the match.But New York made the most of his abilities and was able to prevent defensively a lot.
Head coach Ben McAdoo handed over the game’s playcalling to offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan.He attached great importance to the hitherto non-existent running game.Orleans Darkwa (21 CAR, 117 YDS) surprisingly found gaps against Denver’s run-defense, which he was able to exploit to gain space.
The Broncos suffered from weak quarterback play in the first half.Trevor Siemian (29/50,376 YDS, TD, 2 INT) was inaccurate in his litters and with bad reads.At Janoris Jenkins’ Pick-Six, the quarterback injured his forearm, but returned to the field after the break.
Broncos kicker Brandon McManus also gave away two valuable kicks.The Broncos played the ball three times over.Injuries in the Receiving Corps and big problems in the Rushing Game paralyzed the offense and so you couldn’t catch up on the gifts you gave the Giants.
Denver Broncos (2-3) – New York Giants (1-5)10:23 (0:3,3:14,0:3,7:3) BOXSCORE
From Miller (Linebacker, Denver Broncos)
“There are no excuses on matchday.They had a great game plan.Every week in this league is a difficult one.You have to be desperate to win.”
Eli Manning (Quarterback, New York Giants)
“We knew the game would be a little different than the others.We knew we had to let the ball go a lot.I’m proud of the way the boys fought.It’s a special victory.Especially considering what has happened so far.A lot of people had already written us off in advance for this game.”
The Giants’ offensive line has been one of the main reasons for the major problems that have been experienced in the past.In the run-up to the game, there was already speculation about what a big day Bronco’s linebacker Von Miller would have.But the O-Line showed the best performance of the season and especially Justin Pugh did an excellent job of restraining Miller.The superstar Denvers only got a tackle, a bag and a quarterback hit.Big compliment to the 27-year-old Guard!
In a game where both Open Senses have problems producing, mistakes like this one that Trevor Siemian has made are even more important.With seven points behind and the ball in her own hands just before the break, Siemian wanted to get the passing game underway.But he misread the Cover-2-Defense and threw a ball towards Bennie Fowler III, who just ran his outside-route.Corner Janoris Jenkins, however, was released from the deep-coverage because of the cover-2 formation and was able to pass for a simple but decisive play.The resulting residue deprived the Broncos of any offensive flexibility.
Jason Pierre-Paul dominated opponent Menelik Watson before his injury and substitute Billy Turner thereafter.The defensive end came on outstanding eight tackles, three sacks and two quarterback hits.Pierre-Paul was simply out of control and put pressure on an already nervous quarterback.
Great games also from the Giants-Secondary.Janoris Jenkins forced two turnovers.Eli Apple did a great cover job.
Trevor Siemian had big problems with the quarterback playing in the first half.Already here he played the Giants, who were eager to stop the run, into the cards.Siemian used his possibilities for Big Plays too seldom and seemed very imprecise.Both picks were on his head.The Pick-Six against Janoris Jenkins was a catastrophic reed.When trying to get rid of him, Siemian injured himself with a Missed Tackle against Jenkins, too.In the second half, Siemian improved at least.
