The Denver Broncos have lacked the big play over the last two seasons, which we covered before Friday’s game in a post called “Dink and Dunk and No Chunk”. The premise obviously being that the Broncos offense could not generate any chunk yardage.
That appears to be changing as they got plenty of chunk in their 29-17 victory over the Washington Redskins.
In the first three quarters of #DENvsWAS, the @Broncos had five plays of 20+ yards. Washington had one.

The explosive offensive plays was a sigh to behold for us fans, since we just hadn’t seen much of that since Peyton Manning retired. If the offense can generate these kinds of chunk plays on a consistent week-to-week basis, then this team is going to score enough points to keep games winnable.
We’ll see if that’s the case in two short weeks. Bring on Week 1 of the regular season!
