Yahoo Sports NFL on Fernando Mendoza

Mendoza's debut start vs. elite Seahawks defense; faces top-10 defenses in first two starts.

Mendoza is slated to make his first career start against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks at home on Sunday, Nov. 15. His first two opponents feature vaunted defensive units: Seattle's 'Dark Side' defense did not allow a touchdown to Arizona last week, and Denver ranks in the top 10 in points allowed per game (20.7), sacks (26), and takeaways (12). Despite the tough matchups, Kubiak emphasized Mendoza's preparation and readiness, noting he is 'studying right now like he would any other game' and has shown extensive work ethic.
