The good Jake was 15 of 30 for 256 yards in yesterday’s 17-7 victory over the New England Patriots. He had two touchdown passes to Javon Walker and most importantly no turnovers. This was a good win for the Broncos - the Patriots aren’t the same team that won 3 Super Bowls in a 4 year span, but they’re still in the NFL’s upper echelon.

In spite of their poor showing against the Rams and the Chiefs to start the season, the Broncos find themselves at 2-1. The defense finally gave up its first TD of the season with just over nine minutes left in the fourth quarter. The offense is starting to jell. And Shanahan has the bye week to make it all stick.

I’ll take it.
