They need a fast start for many reasons -- including the fact that one of the easiest schedules in the NFL actually becomes one of the toughest after four games.

Teddy Bridgwater knows what a dominant running back looks like. In fact, he's been teammates with Pro Bowler Dalvin Cook, All-Pro Alvin Kamara and All-Pro Christian McCaffrey.

He believes he's next to another very special back in Denver.

Special teams has been an emphasis of the Broncos' roster construction since they signed Mike Boone in March, so the composition of the Broncos' depth shouldn't have been a surprise.

The Denver Broncos' initial 53-man roster is officially set.

Here's how the roster shakes out and what George Paton and Vic Fangio had to say about it.

By 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Denver's final roster must be set.

Here’s an updated list of the Broncos that have been cut.

By Tuesday afternoon, George Paton and Vic Fangio must narrow down the Broncos' roster from 80 players to the final 53.

Here's who is projected to make the final roster.

The result and final score of Saturday’s preseason finale — a 17-12 Broncos win over the Los Angeles Rams — was secondary to the fact that they got four key players their first game-action work of the preseason — and all passed their tests with flying colors.

"Saturday, I definitely want to be able to go out and play fast and just not think about anything,” Sutton said.

In the end, Teddy Bridgewater represented more of what Vic Fangio and the Broncos coaching staff felt the team needed right now.

Tick tock, tick tock.

With the final preseason game just days away and the regular season quickly approaching, time was ticking for Vic Fangio to end the Broncos' quarterback competition and name a starter.

Here's why he went with Teddy Bridgewater.

"It is close, and I think it’s close for a good reason: They both have played well," Broncos coach Vic Fangio said.

With a decision on the Broncos' starting QB looming, although Vic Fangio did mention that both Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock have played well, it's hard to ignore the head coach's heaping praise for one QB after Saturday night's win.

Could Fangio make a decision between the two quarterbacks in the coming days? “We might,” he said after the Broncos’ 30-3 romp over the Seahawks at Lumen Field. “I want to take a look at the tape some more.”

Starters' repetitions for Saturday, Pat Shurmur's thoughts on Drew Lock's progress and Courtland Sutton's status are in the spotlight for the final camp report of 2021.

Two touchdowns on Saturday confirmed for game-day onlookers what has been evident in practice: Trinity Benson is becoming a legitimate force.

Teddy Bridgewater, not Drew Lock, had the highest highs and the lowest lows during Wednesday’s practice.

With the QB competition potentially coming to an end soon, did the rollercoaster day help or hurt Teddy’s quest to becoming the starter?
