Broncos guard Quinn Meinerz delivered huge blocks vs. Falcons

Broncos guard Quinn Meinerz dominated the Falcons on Sunday.

Denver Broncos guard Quinn Meinerz is a beast.

The 2023 Pro Bowl alternate continues turning heads as he delivers pancake blocks on a near-weekly basis with the Broncos.

Meinerz played a role in running back Javonte Williams’ team-effort touchdown run, and he also delivered two big blocks against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

In the third quarter, Meinerz blocked Falcons linebacker Kaden Elliss down field, then he turned his attention toward lighting up Atlanta safety Jessie Bates. Those blocks helped wide receiver Troy Franklin score on a screen play to extend the lead to 28-6.

Here’s the play, courtesy of the team’s official Twitter/X page. Meinerz is the right guard, No. 77:

Meinerz delivered another pancake block on linebacker Nate Landman on a different screen pass:

Former NFL offensive lineman AQ Shipley reacted to Meinerz’s big block on Twitter/X:

Meinerz (6-3, 320 pounds) has clearly established himself as one of the best guards in the NFL, and he should earn his first career Pro Bowl nod this fall.

The All-22 angle of Bo Nix’s throw to Devaughn Vele is amazing

This throw from Bo Nix was incredible!

Facing a 2nd-and-7 in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix threw a 33-yard strike to wide receiver Devaughn Vele to pick up a first down.

Nix threw over a linebacker and inside a safety to deliver a perfectly-placed ball for Vele. The All-22 film became available on Monday and the behind the end zone angle is absolutely beautiful:

“We got some shell and some two-deep safety looks today which opens up the middle of the field,” Nix said after the game when asked about throwing over the middle of the field. “I feel like we have been confident with those throws all year long. Today we got through the progressions and got to some of them. Two off the top of my head was Vele over the middle between the safeties. I thought that was extremely courageous to go through there knowing you can possibly be hit.”

This is presumably one of the Vele catches that Nix referenced:

Courtland Sutton (seven receptions for 78 yards) and Vele (four receptions for 66 yards) were Nix’s favorite targets on Sunday.

“Those two are just typical of what you get from them every day,” Nix said. “They are always battling to find ways to get open. They do not care if they are going to take a hit. They are willing to go through there for the betterment of the team. Football is a tough game played by tough people. We know that we are going to have to continue to do that kind of stuff in all spaces of the field to have success. Sometimes you have to take what they give you and they were giving us some over the middle shots today.”

Here are a few more angles of Nix’s two impressive passes to Vele:

Broncos coach Sean Payton praised Nix’s impressive pass during his Monday conference call with reporters.

“There’s never been — on his part — a lack of confidence, relative to his location,” Payton said. “He’s extremely accurate, but the windows are just quicker [and] faster in our league. They’re open for a shorter period of time. I think that’s one example of many, but one example where, ‘Does he make that throw Week 1 or Week 2?’ I don’t know, but certainly we’re all getting a chance to see growth as it plays out week by week.”

Nix finished the game 28-of-33 passing (84.8%) for 307 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions. He has made huge strides from earlier this season and continues to make a case for Offensive Rookie of the Year.

The All-22 angle of the Brandon Jones ‘penalty’ is outrageous

That’s it?!? Such an absolutely terrible call from the referee.

The Kansas City Chiefs were given a gift in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.

After Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was sacked by Broncos pass rusher Nik Bonitto for an 11-yard loss on third down, Kansas City would have been looking at a very long field goal attempt (or, perhaps more likely, a punt) if not for a controversial penalty.

Denver safety Brandon Jones was penalized for illegal contact, giving the Chiefs an automatic first down. Instead of fourth-and-20 from the 44-yard line, Kansas City was given a first down at the 28-yard line.

The Chiefs went on to score a touchdown and the penalty sparked outrage from both fans and pundits on social media. In a game that ended up being decided by just two points, that seven-point swing was crucial.

The All-22 film became available on Monday and the call remains questionable at best. Jones is the safety in the top middle of the screen wearing No. 22:

It was minimal contact, the kind of routine coverage that happens on many plays without flags.

The Broncos had chances to win the game later, and blaming the officials won’t change the outcome of the game, but that was a blatantly bad call.
