Broncos Fifth-Quarter: Off-target throw to Courtland Sutton was final missed chance for offense

1. Missed chance. After QB Drew Lock’s red-zone fumble (coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Lock should have handed off to RB Javonte Williams), he did everything nearly right on a third-and-13 play from his 37-yard line and about four minutes remaining. He recognized the Bengals’ pressure look and made sure the call was for a seven-man protection. RB Melvin Gordon and TE Noah Fant stayed in to block and Lock had a clean pocket but his 18-yard throw was high and behind WR Courtland Sutton.

2. Rushing four. Fangio went with a coverage game plan against Cincinnati.
