With Adam Trautman seemingly less and less important in Denver's offensive game plan, and his overall standing on the team slipping by the week, its fair to question why he is in on major drives in the first place. Regardless, he has now committed two straight careless penalties on drives late in the 4th quarter while the Broncos led, and in both games the Broncos have now lost.
In both such cases, those drives stalled out, and the Broncos went on to lose the game. Connecting some dots here, there is a powerful case to make that Adam Trautman has cost the Broncos two straight games.
