DENVER -- In the end,?Trevor Siemian didnt throw for 180 yards in his first NFL start, he did throw two interceptions, and it wasnt always a smooth ride on the learning curve.But the?24-year-old never lost his composure and showed why Broncos coach Gary Kubiak picked him as?Peyton Mannings replacement in a tense 21-20 victory over the Carolina Panthers?on Thursday night.Sure, theres butterflies every time you play, Siemian said. I think something is wrong with you if you dont. Im just super confident in the group of guys we have offensively. There are a lot of vets and a lot of great leadership in that group that I can lean on, and Im just really confident in those guys.Siemian, whose NFL résumé coming into the game had been just one regular-season play, a kneel-down against the Pittsburgh Steelers in December, finished 18-of-26 passing for 178 yards with a touchdown and the two interceptions.But Siemian was composed in big moments, putting together two touchdown drives in the second half as the Broncos became the first Super Bowl winner to trail by at least eight points in the next seasons opener before coming back for the win.The Broncos rushed for 148 yards in the game and had a close-to-even split in the play-calling with Siemians 26 pass attempts to go with their 29 rushing attempts.I thought Trevor handled his end of the bargain well, Kubiak said.The Broncos opened the game with an apparent case of nerves around their new quarterback. They had taken their opening drive to the Panthers 29-yard line when rookie Devontae Booker fumbled. Siemians first interception ended the Broncos second drive at the Panthers 25-yard line.On that play, Siemians throw was swatted by Panthers defensive tackle Star Lotulelei before being intercepted by linebacker Thomas Davis.The Panthers had a 17-7 lead at halftime, and Siemian was picked off again in the Broncos first possession in the third quarter when, in the face of a blitz, he couldnt step into the throw.Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was open inside the Panthers 10-yard line, but the pass was underthrown and intercepted by Panthers cornerback Bene Benwikere.Kubiak said Siemian was never rattled after all of that.Nah, he wasnt, Kubiak said. And actually the second interception, it really wasnt his fault ... and in fairness to the kid we should have picked [the blitz] up and he should have been able to step and throw. We didnt get that done.Siemian then showed what likely won him the job in the first place, at least in addition to a power arm. Its his composure and ability to rebound from trouble.After his second interception and a rather ugly three-and-out, Siemian led two touchdown drives. The first of those scores came when Siemian stared down the Panthers pressure and tossed a screen pass to running back C.J. Anderson, who?took it 25 yards for a score that made it 17-14.There was pressure, and I knew I had to get it to C.J., somehow, some way, and it would be a big play, Siemian said. He made a couple moves, had a heck of a run and got it in there. ... I knew it was a big play if I could get it to him. Somehow, some way, get it to C.J. and hell take care of it.Said Kubiak: That was a great job. ... But Trevor really did an amazing job of pulling the rush in and getting the ball off ... just really good by kind of handling the situation.Anderson scored on a 1-yard run to close out the Broncos next possession and put Denver in position for the comeback win.Weve got a resilient team, and you saw that tonight, Siemian said.Vapormax Plus Pas Cher Femme . 10 VCU 85-67 on Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

In addition, five-time league MVP Peyton Manning retired, the Broncos lost his backup Brock Osweiler in free agency and cut Mark Sanchez, the player acquired in March to become Denvers starter.Whats left is most of the core of Denvers defense, which harassed Newton and the Panthers into mistakes and missteps from start to finish in February.I think you could use a lot from that game, but youd be fools to think that theyre going to run the same plays, said Miller, who had 2 1/2 sacks and forced a fumble in Super Bowl 50. I think that we could use some things that we didnt do well and some things that they did well and we think that theyre going to try and attack us in those areas.Continuity counts in Carolinas favor. The Panthers cut ties with All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman, who went on to sign a mega-deal with the Washington Redskins, but the heart of the NFC championship roster is otherwise nearly intact.For his part, Newton downplayed his shot at redemption Thursday night, saying its not a rematch at all.Newton knows he wont see Manning on the field this time.The Broncos didnt even announce a starter until after their third preseason game of 2016. Trevor Siemian, a 2015 seventh-round longshot out of Northwestern, beat out Sanchez and 2016 first-round pick Paxton Lynch for the opportunity to face Pro Bowl linebackers Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis.While Denver head coach Gary Kubiak has been enthused about the growth of Siemian, the harsh reality is that the Broncos head into the 2016 home opener with question marks all over the offense.Thats feeding the heightened pulse of the Panthers, who marched through the regular season with a 15-1 record last season and arent hiding the revenge play.I think it gives us that chip on our shoulder that we need knowing thats the team that held us back from our ultimate dream, Panthers fullback Mike Tolbert said.Its not just Siemian getting comfortable. The entire offense is attempting to jjell behind a mostly new front five.dddddddddddd Only one starter from the Super Bowl offensive line, center Matt Paradis, is back.Denvers piecemeal group will be facing a defensive line that the Super Bowl offensive line could hardly block. Panthers defensive end Kony Ealy had a game of a lifetime. He recorded three sacks and had a hand in two takeaways.More than Ealy, the Broncos will be worried about the interior line of the Panthers, defensive tackles Kawann Short and Star Lotulelei.Protecting Siemian is a top priority. The Broncos still have offensive weapons on the outside at wide receiver. This is the major area the Broncos hold the advantage. Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders are two of the best in the NFL but for each of them to shine, they must hope the offensive line holds up and Siemian has the time and ability to get them the football.The Panthers will be starting a rookie cornerback and playing a total of three rookies against the duo of 1,000-yard receivers.Kuechly said Carolina wont overlook Siemian after studying his preseason film.I think hes smart; I think hes confident in what hes doing, and they do a good job of running the ball -- that makes everything easier, Kuechly said. I think he has a good grasp of what theyre trying to do offensively, and we have to make sure were prepared for it.James Bradberry, Zack Sanchez and Daryl Worley all were selected by Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman to fill the void left in the secondary. All three, along with Bene Benwikere, will be tasked with trying to contain the Broncos passing attack.The Panthers made the Super Bowl with average wide receivers last year. With the return of Kelvin Benjamin -- who could be allowed to play up to 35 snaps in his first game back from a season-ending ACL injury in 2015 -- and the maturation of Devin Funchess, Newton has legitimate threats on the outside to test the Broncos feisty secondary.Old reliable Greg Olsen had a career year at tight end in 2015 and will be looking to top those statistics versus a rebuilt Broncos linebacking corp.We cant make or break our whole season on the first game, Olsen said. Whats done is done. The past is the past. We have a whole new season to look forward to. The more we try to hinge on correcting what happened in the Super Bowl, the more were going to keep getting pulled back. ' ' '
