The Broncos put together a 92-yard scoring drive on their first possession. Instead of a harbinger of things to come, though, that was the high-water mark. With quarterbacks coach Klint Kubiak calling plays for the first time, the Denver offense felt like it found a rhythm more frequently, especially in the first half, but at the end of the day the results looked the same. Sixteen points and a loss. That would have been more had Melvin Gordon not fumbled at the 1-yard line and Brandon McManus not had a field goal attempt blocked. All the same, second-half troubles and another bad day on third down (3-of-12) was too much to overcome.
