the remainder of the season with a lacerated kidney yet the colts still won, 27-24. >> the one thing about this guy, he's so tough and strong. that's part of his game, sitting in there holding the ball until the last second getting it gone. a lot of speed and very dangerous from that standpoint when he extends plays it gets difficult. so ovenly they got it done against him l good job. >> what do the broncos need to do to beat the colts this sunday? the defensive backs have to hold their coverages longer because luck is holding on to the ball and taking punishment in order to make a play. because luck isn't afraid to take a hit from the legs most feared defenses, theestiest way to keep him from scoring is to keep him off the field. trevor siemian's biggest job is

the field. last week lions quarterback stafford had a field day with the secondary. he went 31 for 39 for 343 yards and 3 touchdowns. this means trevor siemian could have the opportunity to throw more than the 26 times he did in last week's opener and show us more what he's got. >> what's the biggest thing we should be afraid of with andrew luck and the colts? >> luck scores. if he's on the last week they lost to the lions 39-35 but when you score 35 points, you're expected to win so the goal is this game for the broncos offense to use the clockwisely by combining their run and passing game. the more you can keep andrew luck off the field, that's the easiest way to keep him from scoring. >> got it, romi. i also read von miller has yet to sack luck so this could happen this weekend. all eyes on that field.

report. hear more from romi on denver sports 760. trending this morning, a houston teen hears her mom's voice for the very first time as she gets an implant and a camera caught the heartwarming moment. >> can you hear my voice now? yeah? >> can you hear my voice? >> yes.
