Broncos at Falcons

8:30 p.m., ESPN

Line: Falcons by 3

The skinny: Denver's Peyton Manning and Atlanta's Matt Ryan, two elite quarterbacks from different football generations, will be on the same field, facing off in a most intriguing matchup. Ryan is on the cusp of establishing himself as one of the best at his position for the Falcons (1-0). Manning, his legacy secure, still has something to prove as he jump-starts his career for the Broncos (1-0).

The Broncos must watch Falcons receiver Julio Jones. He hauled in six passes for 108 yards, including a couple of touchdowns, last week as the Falcons passed the ball 31 times and handed it off to the running backs only 20.
