Patriots vs Broncos – Player Ups & Downs

A game in which many, myself included, struggled to see a scenario where Denver would come away victorious yesterday, ended up with egg on our face as the Patriots fell 18-12. Here are the ups and downs from Week 6.

Ups ⬆️

Cornerbacks

Say what you will about yesterday’s performance, but in parts, the defense played very well. More specifically, it was the CB’s who played well. Firstly, Jon Jones went 1/8 on passing targets against him and allowed just 16 yards, recorded two PBU, and one INT. Stephon Gilmore had a good game also, along with J.C. Jackson who grabbed the other of Drew Lock’s interceptions.

They were even without two playmakers on offense in Melvin Gordon and Noah Fant. On top of that, the Patriots were getting Cam Newton and Stephon Gilmore back off of the COVID/RESERVE list. This game seemed like it would be an easy layup for the Patriots, but Vic Fangio and the Denver Broncos had other plans.
