Football is a simple game made complicated. Five games into their 2021 season, the Denver Broncos are providing a good example of it. A 3-0 start over the cellar dwellers of the league was enough to hide troubling issues with both of the offense and defense, issues that have reared their ugly head in embarrassing, back-to-back losses to AFC North foes.
The skid led to finger pointing. Denver’s offense isn’t doing enough on their opening script. The pass rush isn’t getting home as much as we thought. The third down offense isn’t good enough. Kyle Fuller has giving up too many long completions.
