Klee: No more gimmes for the Broncos By Paul Klee The Gazette, Colorado Springs, Colo. - The Gazette, Colorado Springs, Colo. - Sun Nov 10 08:45:00 UTC 2013 Funs over, Broncos. Time to buckle up and get down. Welcome, Super Bowl hopers, to the rated R portion of the schedule. As in, Rough (and Tumble). One game at a time, Von Miller said. Good, safe idea. The next four are against the Chargers, Chiefs and Patriots. During a 21-day span, the Broncos meet the defense that leads the NFL (K.C.), the offense that leads the NFL in one-game scoring (New England, which hung 55 on Pittsburgh, the most in a game this season) and Old Man Rivers (San Diego). During the past five weeks, Philip Rivers has been the NFLs best quarterback. No, really. In that stretch, Rivers is averaging 344 passing yards and 0.7 kids. His overall completion percentage (72.2) leads the NFL. He torched the Cowboys (401 yards), Raiders (411 yards), Jaguars (125.2 passer rating) and Redskins (341 yards). Rivers usually torches the Broncos. He has seven kids with his high school sweetheart, who truly must be a sweetheart. It will be a little bit of jawing back and forth but all out of love, said Broncos linebacker Shaun Phillips, a teammate of Rivers for the quarterbacks first nine seasons in the NFL. I admire Philip. I think hes a great person and a great player. Sundays game is scary, like snakes. They move without legs, and that freaks me out. The Chargers know the Broncos moves. For 21 games last season, including Mannings first preseason in Denver, San Diego head coach Mike McCoy studied film with Peyton Manning. McCoy knows the punchlines of Mannings favorite jokes, not to mention the ultimate quarterbacks tendencies.
