The Broncos’ bye week is all about evaluation and attacking the season’s final stretch with their best punch. Denver’s offensive line will receive a lot of reflection, especially at right tackle, which may be a prime position for a change.
An underrated move that helped the Broncos’ offense slow down the Saints’ penetration in the second half of their 25-23 win Sunday was benching right tackle Donald Stephenson for Ty Sambrailo.
Kubiak wouldn’t say whether Stephenson will remain at right tackle, but he was effusive in his praise of Sambrailo.
“Ty deserves to play more. So he’s going to play,” Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said.
