Broncos (21) @ Patriots (31)

Another week, another game to review, another chance to dig into the game and see what statistics stand out as helpful to understanding the game or may be a trend that will affect future games. Now...

Highlighting a few numbers that stood out from the Patriots 31-21 week five victory over the Denver Broncos.

New England's offense was in top form in an impressive victory over Denver on Sunday in Foxboro, Mass.

This was a tough loss for the Denver Broncos. Costly turnovers at inopportune times spelled disaster on a day when the Patriots put up over 250 yards rushing. The Broncos fall to 2-3 and will face the division leading San Diego Chargers next week.

The Broncos defense is getting worked by the Patriots offense. There's no two ways about it. Tom Brady is having his way and it doesn't appear that the Broncos have any momentum to work with. It will be an uphill battle from here.

The Broncos defense can't seem to stop Tom Brady and the Patriots offense. Joe Mays is being consistently attacked over the middle with the short passing game. Adjustments need to made at halftime if the Broncos want to win this one.

The Broncos gave up a touchdown on the Patriots' final drive of the first quarter, but are in the process of answering that score with one of their own. Despite an early fumble, Demaryius Thomas is still being trusted, catching 4 passes for 89 yards.

Aaron Hernandez and Dont'a Hightower will miss Sunday's game between Denver and New England, with Knowshon Moreno highlighting the Broncos' inactives.
