Well, that was fun.

The “Who Will DeMarcus Ware Retire With Bowl” was less entertaining than any M. Night Shyamalan flick since 2002 . . . at least for anyone outside of Denver.

Opening as a 2.5-point underdog at home, the Broncos showed the country that they are more than serious about contending for a title this season. This is not the same anemic offense that we have seen in previous seasons, and the “No Fly Zone” seems to be more smothering than ever.

Yes, it’s early with a long season ahead, but Denver has looked great through their first two games of the 2017 campaign. Let’s take a look at Denver’s 42-17 win over Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys.

1. C.J. Anderson and Jamaal Charles have put together a deadly duo in the Broncos’ backfield

Not even Mother Nature could slow down C.J. Anderson’s afternoon. He “had himself a day,” as some might say.

The fifth-year back out of Cal, who missed a large amount of the 2016 season with a torn meniscus, rushed for 118 yards and added a touchdown against a Dallas defense who had not given up a 100 yards to a rusher since January of 2016.

Anderson was not only a threat in the running game, but added three catches for 36 yards and a touchdown in the passing attack as well. He was nothing short of magnificent against the Cowboys.

It was not only Anderson that was finding holes in the Dallas defense, but the newly acquired Jamaal Charles tacked on nearly 50 yards himself on only nine carries. The former Kansas City Chief has comfortably stepped into a relief role that should leave him with plenty of touches each game to provide a spark.

If these two can remain healthy, the Denver running game could be a major threat all season long.

2. The Broncos held Ezekiel Elliot to a career-low eight rushing yards

Ezekiel Elliot might as well have used one game of his anticipated upcoming suspension against the Broncos. It was almost like he wasn’t there, anyway.

The second-year back out of Ohio State lead the league last season with 1,631 yards, but was held to a mere eight yards against the Denver defense.

Let me say that again for the people in the back: eight yards!

Aside from the monotonous play of the Broncos’ offense, their Achilles heel last season was far and away their rushing defense. They finished 28th in the league with 2,083 yards at an abysmal rate of 4.3 yards per carry in 2016.

Things have certainly seemed to change this season as the No Fly Zone has not only stopped the passing game effectively, but Denver has only given up an average of 2.9 yards per carry on the ground.

The Broncos will look to keep that up against a dynamic runner in LeSean McCoy next week when they travel to Buffalo to face the Bills.

3. Garett Bolles injury could shake up the offensive line in a major way

Broncos’ first-round draft pick Garett Bolles was injured midway through the third quarter when his leg got pinned under a pile of grown men during a Charles rush up the middle. The rookie out of Utah, who surprisingly claims his newborn baby will remember the 2017 NFL draft forever, left with tears in his eyes as he was carted off the field.

Bolles, who’s X-Rays came back negative, is certainly a work in progress, but he has shown some tremendous upside at the left tackle position and was not a guy Broncos’ fans would like to see go down. They have seen far too many blunders by Bolles’ fill-in, Donald Stephenson, to feel any sort of continued confidence in this offensive line.

Let’s just hope this injury is not severe enough to force the Broncos to start playing musical chairs with the offensive line. That has never been a successful tactic.

4. Last week was not an anomaly: Trevor Siemian has this offense cookin’

The Broncos were distressingly atrocious last season on third-downs. That’s not being dramatic. They finished only ahead of the Los Angeles Rams with an egregious 34.2 percent efficiency rate on third downs.

Part of that was obviously the anemic and predictable play-calling, but another portion of that was the play of quarterback Trevor Siemian.

Siemian, who beat out second-year quarterback Paxton Lynch for the starting gig, has led the Broncos to an astonishing 56.7 percent third-down efficiency rate while throwing for 450 yards and six touchdowns, a feat that was not accomplished until Week 4 last season.

The Denver offense has seemed to make strides toward playing a supportive role to the No Fly Zone instead of an opposing one like previous years, but they are still somewhat hampering the defense as 28 of the 38 points given up have come off of turnovers.

Although there are some minor improvements that need to be made, I think we can all agree that we absolutely love what we have seen out of the Denver Broncos so far.
