Northwestern NFL recap, Week 16: Siemian eliminated from playoff contention

The Broncos were knocked out of the playoffs after a disappointing performance against the Kansas City Chiefs. Only Dean Lowry stands to make a potential playoff appearance for Northwestern’s NFL veterans.

Trevor Siemian - Denver Broncos

Denver’s offense struggled once again at Kansas City, but it was the defense that really let Trevor Siemian down on Christmas. Siemian was inaccurate and only completed 17 of his 43 passes. The Broncos running game was again completely nonexistent against the strong Kansas City front seven and the Broncos could only manage 10 points. With the Broncos’ 33-10 loss to a divisional rival, capped off by a passing touchdown from Dontari Poe, the heaviest man to ever throw a touchdown, Denver will miss the playoffs.
