I don't know about that strategy. The Broncos have a hell of a rushing defense; sure, the numbers are skewed because teams are always playing catch-up, but the Denver line is impressive and the backs are coached-up well. Trying to control the clock by running can lead to a lot of 3rd and longs, which in turn lead to a lot of three-and-outs as well as INTs.

Regardless, the problem will very likely solve itself. If the defense allows to quick TDs in the first quarter (which it probably will) we can forget the run game.
