Broncos Fifth Quarter: Offense unable — or unwilling — to stretch field against Eagles’ defense

1. Not capitalizing on field position. The Broncos’ offense has had nine drives that started in opponent’s territory this year … and haven’t scored a touchdown. The breakdown: Four field goals, one missed field goal, one turnover and four end-of-game situations. PR Diontae Spencer’s 19-yard return set the Broncos up at the Philadelphia 45 (trailing 20-10) on Sunday. They had to settle for a field goal after RB Javonte Williams’ 20-yard touchdown was negated by penalty and the offense moved backward on TE Albert Okwuegbunam’s penalty.

2. Throwing short. Among the Broncos’ 22 completions, half went to tight ends or running backs, a product of Bridgewater not liking what he saw downfield.
