The Saints travel to new Mile High Stadium (Sports Authority Field) to face the Denver Broncos on prime time this Sunday night. The game will be televised nationally on NBC and it represents the first time the Saints will play in Denver since 2008 when they lost 32-34 back when Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall were still the key players in their offense. A lot has happened to the Broncos since that day. Both teams feature explosive passing and on paper it looks like it could be a very high scoring shootout. Weather could be a factor, though, as the forecast calls for temperatures as low as 38 degrees. Not as bad as it could have been, though, when you consider it's currently 29 degrees and snowing over there! Here's what to expect from the Broncos and how the Saints match up.
OFFENSE:
Peyton Manning has the second best quarterback rating in the NFL currently, just behind Aaron Rodgers, so while his arm strength has maybe taken a slight hit since the injury he is sti...

If you look at the numbers so far this season, one would think that Peyton Manning is already back to full health.
He is second in quarterback rating at 105.0, top 5 in touchdown passes with 14, and on pace to throw for a career high 4,281 passing yards. He also is on pace to only throw 11 interceptions, which would be his lowest total since 2006.
However, Peyton is quick...

The Saints are shockingly bad this season. I did not expect them to be affected this much by the loss of their head coach. Drew Brees has decided he has to share his opinion on all the big issues in the NFL after being out front during the lock-out and now with the bounty scandal. He's actually becoming obnoxious. He needs to spend more time preparing and less time complaining...

Might I suggest "Bounty Gate" has affected the Saints defense in a way you have not thought of yet.

Let's throw out the bounty allegations for a minute and concentrate on what has been admitted: pay for performance. The Saints...
