Finally the Denver Broncos offense has started clicking like it did earlier in the season. Jay Cutler had quite possibly the best game of his career thus far as he threw for 447 yards, 3 TDs and one pick in the win over the Cleveland Browns 34-30.
The Cleveland Browns didn't go down without a fight though, Brady Quinn made his first start and didn't disappoint filling in for Derek Anderson. Quinn played as if he were a veteran quarterback making all the right decisions and getting the Browns offense firing on all cylinders again.
Although the Broncos were the better team down the stretch in the first Thursday night game of the season, the Browns future looks promising in the hands of Brady Quinn who finished the game with 239 yards and 2 TDs.
As for the Broncos, they really needed this win to keep on top of the AFC West with a 5-4 record. This game didn't come without controversy though, when Brandon Marshall scored the final touchdown, he reached into his pants and pulled out a glove to make a statement about the election of Barack Obama. The glove was said to be black on one side and white on the other which signified unity and progress of this country after electing the first black president.
Although maybe a noble statement by Marshall, wide out Brandon Stokley ran up to Marshall before he could do what he planned to avoid the penalty which could have meant the game for the Broncos.
With Denver playing the way they did against the Browns they showed signs of promise to turn the season around. Unless the Broncos start playing like the Oakland Raiders over the final weeks of the season, the should have a shot at winning the AFC West and making it into the playoffs.
The defense still needs work, the probably won't change, but the Broncos are still a very talented football and have a chance of making something happening in this year's playoffs.
