The Denver Broncos' rebuilt offensive line faces a major test Sunday when the Washington Commanders visit Empower Field.
in Week 1 when the trio minus Young combined for 2½ sacks, a half-dozen tackles for loss, four quarterback hits, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
The Broncos protected Wilson better in their opener, but didn’t do much with a paltry six total possessions. Jumpstarting the offense against Washington will be a major challenge if they can’t get Wilson or their ground game going. “All of those guys have had great college careers. A lot of them are first-round draft picks that are playing well. The defense kind of feeds off that. They’re a handful.”Wilson doesn’t hold the ball as long in Payton’s ground-based offense that calls for quick releases. Wilson completed 27 of 34 passes — but for just 177 yards against the Raiders. The Broncos’ new backfield duo of Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine was efficient but not explosive.
While the offense needs time to coalesce under new coordinator Eric Bieniemy, the core of Washington’s defense has been together for several years under Rivera and coordinator Jack Del Rio.CHIEF CONCERNS
