Joe Flacco felt like the Broncos should have been more aggressive on offense late in their loss to the Colts on Sunday. In a news conference after the game, Denver’s quarterback vented his frustrations about the conservative play-calling that forced his team to punt and subsequently opened the door to Indianapolis’ comeback win.

“We’re now a 2-6 football team and we’re like afraid to go for it in a two-minute drill, you know? Like, who cares if you give the ball back to the guys with a minute and 40 seconds left. They obviously got the field goal anyway.
“And once again, we’re a 2-6 football team and it just feels like we’re kind of afraid to lose a game. It’s third-and-5 at the end of the game. You know, who cares if they have a timeout there at the end or not. Getting in field goal range isn’t that tough. You’re just putting your defense in these bad situations and I just felt like, ‘What do we have to lose? Why can’t we be aggressive in some of these situations?’ That’s how I felt like in a lot of the game today.”
