An impressive win in the game by the Denver Broncos over the New Orleans Saints.

The first play of the 4th quarter has the Broncos scoring a touchdown and taking the score to 31 to 7. Denver has the lead.

The Saints again are unable to convert against the defense of Denver. After a good punt Denever sarts the drive from deep in their territory.

It doesn’t take long and Manning gets them out of their own territory and has them in mid field quickly. The Denver offense has been doing well both in the air and they haven’t done terrible on the ground either. Obviously they have many more yards in the air, but they have been adding a bit of running plays in to the mixture well and have managed to keep the Saints defense guessing.

Even though Manning is unable to convert on this drive and they are forced to kick, they have a great punt and the will get the ball back on their own 2 yard line.

Again the defense of the Broncos shut down the Saints offense and get the ball back. They convert the drive into 3 more points and now the score stands at 34 to 7.

With only 5 plus minutes left in the game it would take more than just a simple miracle to take the game back but at this point the Saints must work on converting on their drives and reduce the mistakes.

New Orleans has a decent drive and makes it to mid field. After fighting their way to a few first downs they actually manage to make it into the end zone again for the second time in the game. This takes the score to 14 Saints to 34 Broncos.

The Broncos get the ball back and will have just enough time to run one play as we get to the two minute warning. Manning does not go in for their last possession and Denver punts. The Saints come on to the field for a kneel down and Denver wins with a final score of 34 to 14.

Denver Broncos win football game over New Orleans Saints by defense

Peyton Manning is a great quarterback and the Bronco offense have made a number of really good plays, but I honestly think this football game was won by the Denver defense.

When you talk about a game being won or loss by the defense in many cases you would most likely think the person was speaking about offensive line penetration when in the case of the Saints against the Broncos we are speaking about coverage on the receivers.

This is quite evident since the Denver Broncos has been doing a much better job of being there in the face of the receivers whereas the Bronco receivers have managed to get free of their coverage and making the completions.

Having a defense that played as well as Denvers did tonight against the Saints is just the kind of team play that backs up an offense with a quarterback like Peyton Manning.

I think it is this kind of game play that will win them the conference and give them an excellent shot at the division.
