On the surface, it appears like the Denver Broncos offensive line did not show up last week against the Detroit Lions. I slightly held that opinion, and from what I’ve seen, that was an opinion that was held by almost every member of Broncos Country on social media. After further review, there is some truth to this belief, and there is also much exaggeration as well.
For the most part, the offensive line played well. Most of the pressures and QB hits were due to, in my opinion, poor play design. I can’t stand the play-action pass plays where they intentionally leave the end man on the line of scrimmage unblocked.
