The Broncos had a chance to take one and suture their recent losing wounds. Vance Joseph ran the ball up the middle with an additional time out, and instead played it safe with a 50 yard field goal attempt. The Broncos missed. Houston wins. Walking off 19-17 after Case Keenum made some swell and some terrible throws to get Denver into field goal range in the first place. This is a fireable offense for a team who is now 3-6.
The field goal became a game winning attempt after Kai’imi Fairbain missed his first extra point of the season.
