Week Three

First road game of the season, traveling to Tennessee to face the Titans and the explosive running back Chris Johnson (YOUNG MONEY). Chris Johnson's "GET AWAY FROM THE COPS SPEED" helped him race to a spectacular season in '10-11, and he'll be hoping to keep that momentum going.

Matt Hasselbeck (QB) Dislocated Ankle (3 weeks) Leroy Harris (LG) Broken Forearm (6 weeks) Game Notes The Broncos will have to be able to stop the run this week if they want to succeed. It will also be in their best interest to establish their own running game for the first time this season, because QB Tim Tebow's passing accuracy is only 37% this season, from 81 attempts in 2 games. Willis McGahee has yet to rush for 100 yards ON THE SEASON, in 30 attempts. With Hasselbeck injured, rookie Jake Locker will have to step up. He threw a good percentage last week but an INT in only 13 attempts. As we saw last week, letting the Broncos secondary steal the ball away can cost you the game.
