They commit too many penalties. They stink in the red zone. They have a coaching staff that needs a crash course in clock/situation/personnel management. And they are continuing to lose key players to injury.
But at least the Broncos aren’t winless.
In a game that was as aesthetically pleasing as watching paint peel, quarterback Russell Wilson’s 22-yard touchdown pass to tight end Eric Saubert with 12:37 remaining was the go-ahead score in a 16-9 win/snoozer over the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon. Be relieved the Broncos aren’t 0-2 like Las Vegas and Cincinnati in the ultra-competitive AFC and be optimistic the defense allowed no touchdowns, suggesting they will be able to carry the spinning-their-wheels offense.
