Stats gotta hurt - Denver Bronco stat review for Week 17
Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times via Getty ImagesLess than a month ago, the Denver Broncos stood at 7-6 and faced a critical home game against the Bengals to try and stay in the playoff hunt. As has happened so many times during the Vic Fangio tenure, the defense balled out - allowing 15 points, forcing seven punts and allowing only two decent drives all game - while the offense repeatedly did nothing - or at least, nothing good. The offense turned ball over on a goal-to-go play and punted six times. Terrible clock management led to a rushed field attempt near the end of the half which Brandon McManus missed, which led to a long field goal for the Bengals to end the half.
