One down, three to go. Denver won to advance to 7-6. "Going into this week, we knew we had to win out to have a chance at the playoffs. I'm glad we came out and took care of business at a tough place to win (Philadelphia)" Coach Scott Beas said after a 28-20 win over the Eagles. The win keeps the playoff hopes alive for the Broncos. Coming off back to back tough losses, the outlook was looking bleak. The Broncos would still need some help at 10-6 to get in but the hope remains. With the Bengals, Steelers, and Browns expected to battle it out the next few weeks there should be a few losses on the horizon. "We just want to make the dance, then we can create some havoc" Beas said.
Denver struggled early in their game at the Eagles. Aaron Rodgers threw 3 first half INTs. The first Rodgers threw was inside the 10 yard line. It would be returned past midfield. His 2nd would go for a pick 6. The 3rd would be returned inside the 40. Rodgers credited the defense, as it only allowed 10 points (3 from offense) on the 3 turnovers. Rodgers got it clicking in the 2nd half as Rucker and Latimer would make several nice catches.
