4 Problems Broncos Need to Solve in Preseason Game 2 at Bills
The Denver Broncos are in Upstate New York, set to square off with the Buffalo Bills in the second week of the NFL's 2022 preseason. Last week, the Broncos quite soundly dispatched the Dallas Cowboys 17-7.
In that game, neither team played many of its starters. The Broncos don't plan to play most first-teamers in Saturday's tilt, but the Bills do.
Denver's second-team defense will have to contend with Bills quarterback Josh Allen and most of their starters. It'll serve as quite the litmus test for the depth of the Broncos' roster.
After what we saw last week vs. Dallas, what should fans be watching for in Game 2 at Buffalo? Let's dive in.
Can Nathaniel Hackett's Run Game Come Alive?
How Does the QB Comptition Take Shape?
Which Cornerbacks Will Separate?
Can a Reliable OT Emerge?
Tom Compton was supposed to be just that, but he's currently licking his wounds on the PUP list with a back injury. There was hope that either Calvin Anderson or Cam Fleming could rise to the occasion, but neither tackle looked good in Game 1.
Quinn Bailey might be the Broncos' last hope at a reliable swing tackle behind the sketchy duo of Turner and Compton. Bailey has his warts but looked decent in pass protection last week, and right now, when it comes to Wilson's health, that's arguably the most important thing.
Bailey, Anderson, and Fleming will get lots of work on Saturday in Buffalo. Here's to hoping one of them can really seize the day.
