Emmanuel Sanders Helps Denver Broncos Fans Forget Eric Decker With Awesome Game [GIF]

The Denver Broncos already knew free agent wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders had skills when they signed him during the off-season, but having them and applying them can often be two different things. You just can't know if they will be able to apply them with your team as well or better than they did on their previous team.

So when Sanders took the field as a member of the Denver Broncos for the first time Saturday the team and fans were eager to see how he'd fit in.

You would have thought Sanders has been playing with Peyton Manning and the Broncos for years with the way he looked Saturday against the Texans. On the day he had eight passes thrown his way and hauled in five for 128 yards and two touchdowns (including the 67-yarder above).

It's only one game of course, but the Texans have a solid defense so the accomplishment is noteworthy. While it may be too early to say he is going to fit in with the Denver scheme just fine there will likely be a few fans asking themselves one question:

Eric Decker--who?
