It's crazy how close Siemian's stats so far this year are to Manning's stats through 3 games last year.
Siemian: 67% completion percentage, 756 yards, 5 touchdowns, 3 interceptions.
Manning: 64% completion percentage, 755 yards, 5 touchdowns, 3 interceptions.
There are several reasons that the offense overall is performing much better this season than it was last season.
1. The interceptions haven't been as costly. Two of Manning's 3 interceptions at this point last year went back for touchdowns. Siemian has yet to throw a pick 6.
2. Sacks. Last year Manning had been sacked 8 times for 54 yards. Siemian has been sacked 4 times for 28 yards.
3. Rushing. This is the big one. Through 3 games last year, the Broncos had 171 rush yards. So far this year, they have 334.
Hopefully Siemian will continue to improve, and teams will not be able to just load up the box to stop the run and dare Siemian to beat them.
