So much has been made since the end of the 2024 season about the lack of playmakers within the Denver Broncos' offensive units. Courtland Sutton crossed the 1,000-yard mark in 2024 with eight scores, but arguably no other Broncos receiving option made a serious impact on the team. Sean Payton made it very clear that he believed the team needed a "joker" in the offseason, and many figured that Evan Engram would fit that mold.
So far, Engram has either been inactive due to injury or has clearly been trying to play through one. His best stretch of action seemed to come after the first quarter on Monday night, as it felt like the Broncos were making an honest effort to get him the ball and get him in rhythm.
