Broncos at their best behind a strong running game, but questions linger

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- When you evaluate where things stand for the Denver Broncos at running back this offseason, it looks more than a little shaky.

  • Leading rusher Melvin Gordon is facing a possible suspension to open the 2021 season and talked openly at season's end about hoping the Broncos keep him

  • Two-time 1,000-yard rusher Phillip Lindsay just finished the season on injured reserve for the second time in the past three years

  • The Broncos had one touchdown reception from a running back in 2020

Still, there were moments during the Broncos' 5-11 season when the running game had them looking their best, when the offensive line could show its physical side and the Broncos could use play-action.
