Jammer looked rusty as hell - now they either move Champ back out wide or see if Kayvon Webster is good to go.
For me, key to the game against the Pats is the run defence. If they can keep Blount shackled, even though Brady will still put up points in the air, it makes it easier to control the game and time in possession. Moreno and Ball will be key on offence - look for Denver to run the ball more, then for Manning to go to Julius Thomas and Welker for those short, safe passes. To beat New England, they need to control the ball and give Brady less time in possession, as you know, even if the defence was fully healthy, Brady will still find ways to put up points.
The over/under is 54.5 - I would take the over if I was betting. Think this could have a few scores in it
