Offense — A
It was the Broncos best offensive performance of the season and the closest we’ve seen to the offense coach Gary Kubiak intends to run. C.J. Anderson and Devontae Booker led the way for a season-high 190 rushing yards.
Defense — B+
It was some bending at times, particularly in the run game where Denver allowed 140 yards, but Denver’s defense held the Texans to just three field goals. In Brock Osweiler’s return to Denver, he amassed just 131 passing yards on 41 throws.
Special teams — A-
Three times the Broncos kickoff team pinned the Texans deep inside their own 20 with a “mortar” kick setting up bad field position.
