Broncos Mailbag: Running game? No need in this NFL - The Denver Post
I can't believe the Broncos are 2-2 without a running game. Eight rushing yards by running backs against the Titans, and they won? Are McDaniels and the Broncos thinking outside the box (literally) to prove that you don't need a running game to win in the NFL? That would change everything.

Game notes: Patriots-Dolphins | National Football Post
Miami’s special teams: Bad football. Give up the TD to Brandon Tate on the opening kickoff to start the second half.

Patrick Chung’s blocked punt leads to points and the blocked field goal (again by Chung) is scooped up and returned for a TD. That is 21 points—given to New England. That special teams meeting Wednesday morning in Miami is going to be rough.
