“He’s a real tough-minded kid”: Broncos’ Isaac Yiadom aims for bounce-back performance vs. Bears

It was easy to spot the Raiders’ offensive strategy Monday night in their beatdown of the Broncos: Pass the football to the wide receiver who drew cornerback Isaac Yiadom in single coverage.

Yiadom, a 2018 third-round pick, allowed completions the first six times he was targeted by Oakland (for 103 yards) as quarterback Derek Carr repeatedly connected on his side of the field, where there was no safety help. The pattern drew this quip from coach Vic Fangio: “At some point, (Yiadom) is going to have to break some of those up.”

Yiadom returned to practice this week leading up to Sunday’s game against Chicago with a simple but focused mindset.
