The Broncos knew the degree of difficulty going against New Orleans’ defense on Sunday was high and that was before all of the available quarterbacks were benched by the NFL office. Against a Broncos’ offense led by wide receiver Kendall Hinton and Co., that tough defense became dominant, allowing only 112 yards in a 31-3 win. Hinton and running backs Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman took the quarterback and/or direct snaps.
