Quarterback Jarrett Stidham talked extensively this week about how much he respected Maxx Crosby, his former Raiders teammate. Well, Crosby reacquainted himself with the now-Broncos signal-caller several times Sunday with a sack and four hits. Denver struggled again to run the ball and struggled to contain Crosby or the Las Vegas pass-rush.
Stidham got sacked five times overall and was impacted by the rush throughout the game. He fumbled a third-and-goal snap before Javonte Williams punched in a 2-yard run from the Wildcat. The Broncos’ two games with Stidham at quarterback resulted in their two lowest-scoring output games since the 1-5 start.
