T-minus three days until the Denver Broncos play the New York Giants to open the 2021 season. At a glance, New York and Denver are two sides of the same coin split by distance. Both teams have decision makers facing make-or-break campaigns with questions at quarterback while neither is favored to win their division. Both rosters are built to win with their defense.
Dig beneath the surface and the differences sprout up like weeds. Where Fangio is on the hot seat in Denver, it’s Dave Gettleman sweating the axe in New York. Daniel Jones is the sixth overall pick from 2019, whereas Teddy Bridgewater is a veteran trade acquisition the Broncos brought in to compete with their own 2019 QB.
