Sep 30 2007	Game Prep: Week 4 versus the Denver Broncos or "Santa Clause is Coming To Town"
By Bruce Paine \| Comments (1) \| Hype It Up! \| Filed Under: Bruce Paine Archive \| Football

This weekends matchup features the return of Jay Cutler, pride of Heritage Hills High School and Santa Clause, Indiana. Cutler's Broncos move the ball downfield well but have problems in the red zone and show a knack for poor production uncharacteristic of Mike Shanahan's team. The Colts, who move the ball well and score on nearly every possession, are going against the stiffest pass defense in the League. The Broncos can't stop the run, though, and Indianapolis knows how to run.
