Key Points:
- The Denver Broncos dominated the Minnesota Vikings 34-6 in their final preseason game, showcasing several standout individual performances that complicate head coach Sean Payton’s roster decisions.
- Running back Cody Schrader impressed with over 100 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown, potentially threatening Jaleel McLaughlin’s roster spot.
- Inside linebackers Red Murdock and Taurean York both showed playmaking ability, but with limited roster spots, one may be placed on the practice squad.
- Quarterback Sam Ehlinger delivered a strong performance with 233 yards and 3 touchdowns, making a case to remain with the team either on the active roster or as a valuable practice squad member.
- Tight end Justin Joly and return specialist Kolbe Katsis made impactful plays, with Joly securing a roster spot through a key 88-yard touchdown and Katsis excelling in the return game, though he may face challenges making the final 53-man roster due to competition.
