Broncos backups struggle against Bills in second preseason game

The Denver Broncos second preseason game went about as one would expect given the Buffalo Bills intended to play their starters, while Broncos’ head coach Nathaniel Hackett had zero intention of putting his starting roster at risk in a meaningless preseason game.

There were a few bright spots for Denver in this game. The kick and punt returners all had nice games regardless of who was back there returning kicks. The second-string offense also had some early success against the Bills’ starting unit. There wasn’t much else to talk about in this game as the Broncos were going to be overmatched from the start no matter what. The 42-15 defeat means little in the grand scheme.
