Grades
Offense: D-. Penalties. Dropped passes. Turnovers. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. A change at quarterback did little to produce any progress for one of the NFL’s worst offenses.
Defense:F. Not since a 59-14 loss to the Raiders in 2010 had the Broncos surrendered so many points. Denver gave up six touchdowns through the first three quarters.
Special teams:D. Isaiah McKenzie had a 44-yard punt return and made all three field-goal attempts, but penalties during kickoff returns were among a number of calamities, which has become a weekly occurence.
Coaching:F. In one of their worst losses since 2010, the Broncos were undisciplined and uninspired, issues that fall directly on the doorstep of the coaching staff.
Game Balls
