B may seem a little farfetched, but really, went 16 weeks of Marshall BEING the offense and NOW of all times McDaniels gets pissy? Gotta be more going on there than they're letting on. Sheffler is gone after this year regardless, just isn't what McDaniels wants for his system. Royal's also out this week due to injury
So Denver's recievers for this game are Brandon Stokley, Brandon Lloyd, Jabar Gaffney and Mathew Willis. Yay

There's a theory out there that the Broncos have intentions of applying a RFA tender to Marshall and Scheffler and deal them in the offseason (possibly to Washington once Shanahan takes over), and they don't want them to get hurt (or hurt worse, in Marshall's case) and damage their trade value. Not sure how much validity there is to that since I don't follow the team all that much, but it's an idea.
