Are Lions Packing For A Win?
Article posted on Monday 06 November - 05:59 EST

There wasn’t a more dominant performance last weekend than the Denver Broncos’ 42-17 thrashing of the Dallas Cowboys. The Broncos have had an outstanding defense for years, but their offense and third-year quarterback Trevor Siemian are the real surprise. They look unstoppable. Denver now travels to Buffalo to tackle the Bills in their first test on the road this season.
