Check out the video of the third touchdown hookup between Manning and Sanders below.

Sanders have proven to be a more than suitable replacement for Eric Decker in Denver. He has arguably even stepped up the quality of the options in the Broncos’ passing game, bringing dynamic, game-changing ability now that he has been paired up with Manning.

Between Sanders, Julius Thomas, and Demaryius Thomas, the Broncos have a number of guys who present match-up problems whether because of their speed, size, or both. As for Sanders, it is safe to say that he made a good career decision when he signed with the Broncos as a free agent this past off-season. As the Broncos try to make a statement in the division, they are sure happy to have him.
