Broncos need to march into red zone

The Broncos eeked out a last-second 15-14 victory over Buffalo Sept. 9.

And what a way to kick off the season. Jason Elam running out to the field to kick a field goal with time running out on the clock. It's going to be a classic moment in Broncos history.

15-14.

It's a little close considering Denver dominated the Bills in total yardage 470-184, and had a 23-13 first-down edge.

I know “a win's a win” and “football's unpredictable,” but with all those yards, the Denver offense only reached the red zone twice – capitalizing once on a five-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall in the third quarter.

I was pleased with the defense holding the Bills to minimal success. Their only mistake was allowing a 23-yard touchdown run by Marshawn Lynch.
