Empower Field at Mile High to Host Denver Broncos and Washington Commanders Clash
As the Denver Broncos prepare to welcome the Washington Commanders to Empower Field at Mile High, fans are anticipating a game that could be pivotal for the home team's season trajectory. The upcoming match, scheduled for September 17th, will see the Broncos trying to capitalize on their home-field advantage in Denver.
The Broncos' recent performance has been a mixed bag of close calls and narrow defeats. In their last outing against the Las Vegas Raiders, they fell short by just one point in a 17-16 loss. Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways from their gameplay. The defense managed an interception and held strong with only one missed tackle throughout the game. However, they failed to record any sacks and will be looking to apply more pressure on the Commanders' quarterback this time around.
Offensively, Denver showed promise with a completion percentage of nearly 80 percent in passing attempts but struggled with penalties that cost them valuable yards. Their rushing game was solid with an average of over four yards per carry; however, they'll need more red zone conversions after scoring touchdowns on two-thirds of their opportunities.
Special teams had moments of efficiency as well – achieving a field goal success rate of 50 percent and converting half of their extra-point attempts – but there is room for improvement here as well.
Looking ahead to their face-off against Washington, maintaining possession time will be crucial for Denver; they managed over 32 minutes against Las Vegas which helped keep them competitive until the final whistle.
Broncos fans should expect another closely contested battle as both teams vie for victory at Empower Field at Mile High. With strategic adjustments and sharpened execution, especially in defensive pressure and penalty reduction, Denver could very well turn those narrow losses into wins starting with this upcoming game.
Be sure not to miss out on what promises to be an exciting encounter between these two teams. The action kicks off on September 17th at 20:25 UTC (2:25 PM local time) at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. Fans can catch all the live action broadcasted by CBS.
