What happened: Renck framed Denver's outlook around a fast start for Bo Nix rather than another catch-up script. He also identified Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and pressure on Brock Purdy as the matchup's main stress points.

Why it matters: That emphasis puts the game on whether Denver can stay out of obvious passing downs and force Purdy off schedule. It also fits Denver's recent focus on Davis Webb's offense as the Broncos look for cleaner early possessions.

What to watch: Watch whether Denver's opening series puts Nix in rhythm and whether the pass rush gets home without sacrificing coverage. How often McCaffrey and Kittle draw extra attention should show up quickly.
