The undefeated Green Bay Packers travel to Sports Authority Field at Mile High to face the undefeated Denver Broncos in a huge Sunday matchup. The Broncos are coming off their bye week and a big overtime win against the Browns on Oct. 18, and they will look to keep momentum rolling Sunday night. The Packers arguably look like the best team in the NFC and are also coming off a bye week.
Both teams look to be well rested for Sunday's game, and both head coaches Gary Kubiak and Mike McCarthy know how important this game can be. The Packers are led by 2014 NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers, who is having another monster season this year. Rodgers has thrown for 1,491 yards this season with 15 touchdowns. The Packers star quarterback has only thrown two interceptions this season but faces the best defense he has seen this year.
The Broncos have the top defense in the NFL and hold opposing offenses to just 281.3 yards per game. The Broncos pass defense has been playing huge this season, as they have been holding opposing quarterbacks to under 200 yards a game. Cornerback Aqib Talib has three interceptions this season and will look to steal one away from Rodgers on Sunday.
While the Broncos defense is their strength, five-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning leads Denver's offense. Manning has struggled this season with 10 interceptions to seven touchdowns, and he doesn't look like the same caliber player. Although Manning is not playing his best football, he has helped lead his team to a 6-0 start. Manning has struggled to make all the throws but can still read a defense better than anyone in the league.
The Packers will look to pressure Manning with linebackers Julius Peppers and Clay Matthews. The two have combined for 10 sacks this season and will look to get after Manning Sunday night. The Packers know if they can pressure Manning their chances of winning increase dramatically.
This looks to be one of the best games of the season, as two undefeated teams meet on Sunday Night Football. The game starts at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time, and you can watch the live broadcast here. To listen to the Broncos' radio broadcast, go here, and for the Packers' radio broadcast, click here.
