The Denver Broncos are coming into Week 8 playing some of the best football in the NFL this season with Peyton Manning at quarterback and defeating the Jaguars before losing to the Colts and the team will host the Washington Redskins at Sports Authority Field at Mile High and the game will be on FOX ar 1:00 pm and streaming online with a live stream from NFL.com.
Robert Griffin and Peyton Manning face off in one of the most anticipated games on the schedule and the Broncos come in after losing to Indy in a very emotional game and the team started off the year 6-0 before losing and while they are in second place behind the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West division, they are considered the favorites in the AFC for the Super Bowl and there are still two matchups to come between those two teams and that likely will decide the division and along with that, the Broncos have a very tough stretch to deal with, including the New England Patriots in a road game and that could very well be the final regular season matchup ever between Peyton Manning and Tom Brady and that could make it an epic matchup for both teams down the line.
The Broncos opened the season with a win over the Ravens that saw seven touchdown passes from Manning and he now has 25 touchdowns and just a few bad turnovers and he comes in as the favorite for the MVP and it's only halfway through the season. The team has a solid rushing attack with Montee Ball, Knowshon Moreno and Ronnie Hillman and of course the receivers are amazing with so many options with Wes Welker, Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas and Eric Decker and now Manning will get the chance to air it out against a team that is giving up a ton of yards in the air and while they have been better in recent weeks, the Redskins defense has not been very efficient and now Manning will get the chance to matchup against them.
The Chiefs appear as if they will be ready to win again on Sunday and that puts even more pressure on the Broncos. This season they have won some games big over the Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East and the team has also won against the Cowboys and the Jaguars and the Raiders and after playing against the Redskins they will matchup against the Chargers after their bye week. After the week off they have the Chargers and the first game against the Chiefs and then they have two home games in a row with the New England Patriots on the road and then the Chiefs at Arrowhead and then the team plays two at home against the Titans and the Chargers before playing on the road against the Houston Texans and the Oakland Raiders to finish the season.
