Defensively, this was not Denver’s best game. It might’ve been their worst game this season, especially in the run game, and their performance came to a head during overtime when CB Pat Surtain II choked and was outplayed by Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams, who scored the 35-yard winning touchdown.
Now, let me be clear: Surtain has reminded us week after week how good of a decision it was to draft him. I have no doubt in my mind that it was the right decision, and a single game sure isn’t going to change that now.
