LANDOVER, Md. — There is now a mirror image to the tortoise and the hare fable.
It was the Broncos’ Game 9 story of Kyle Orton.
No rabbit, Orton started fast against the Washington Redskins on Sunday, but couldn’t finish. Tackled from behind on essentially the final offensive play of the first half, Orton limped off with a sprained left ankle and didn’t return.
With backup quarterback Chris Simms struggling to shake off nearly 3 1/2 years of rust, the Broncos suffered a disheartening 27-17 loss to the Redskins before another sellout crowd at FedEx Field.
