Running Notes:
- The Broncos ran the ball 14 times directly at the center of the formation. They only averaged 3.2 yards, per carry, when they did, however.
- As the Broncos worked their way out, farther away from the center of the formation, their production improved. Every area outside the center averaged over 5 yards, per attempt.
- Lance Ball gets the bulk of his carries to the right and right/center of the formation.
- Tebow does not have many carries this week.
