In the biggest game of the season to date, the Denver Broncos appear to have used the bye week to their advantage. On both sides of the ball, Gary Kubiak has his team showing a completely different hand than they’ve showed in the first six games of the year that led to a perfect record entering the week off.

At the end of the first half, Denver led Green Bay 17-7.

Tight ends were getting involved in the passing game. Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson ere splitting reps and both finding holes. The offensive line was giving Peyton Manning plenty of time. Manning was hitting the deep ball.

On defense, the blitz was used sparingly. Wade Phillips was dedicating bodies to the box to stop Eddie Lacy. The defensive backs were left in man coverage and absolutely blanketing their opponents.

Denver dominated not only on the scoreboard, but in the stats department too. Denver carried time of possession 17:06 to 12:54 and total yards 295 to 100.

The MHS team and the greater Denver media keyed in on the variety Kubiak’s crew was employing as Denver took it to the Packers in the first half. We’ve collected the best for you here…
