Denver completed with 363 complete yards, changing on simply 3 of 12 third-down makes an attempt.
“From a management standpoint, I believe the largest factor we now have to do is be taught the whole lot that we will from the movie,” mentioned Wilson, who had by no means began his profession 0-3. “Study what we did nicely. Study what we didn’t accomplish that nicely.”
The Broncos had two touchdowns wiped away by penalties within the second quarter. Receiver Brandon Jones was known as for offensive go interference to wipe away a 7-yard TD catch by Sutton, then Jones was flagged for an unlawful shift that erased Jerry Jeudy’s 6-yard TD catch.
