They  have  allowed as many  as 58 points in the two games where  they  faced the Detroit Lions as well as the Cincinnati Bengals.

In this  satellite TV match  the Broncos will be shorthanded as they will be without first-round wideout Demaryius Thomas (has  a foot injury) and pass rusher Elvis Dumervil (pectoral injury).Running back Knowshon Moreno (suffering from hamstring injury) and quarterback Tim Tebow (ribs injury) may  not play in the preseason game due to the injury. However, Tebow resumed practice on Wednesday. Josh McDaniels said “We’ll see how Tim does (in practice). He’s still pretty sore and there are some things that I don’t think he can really do effectively at this point. But we’ve got a few more days before the game. We’d love for him to play.”
