I liked Russell Wilson’s performance enough to cost us another game#BroncosCountry
The Broncos looked like they might be shut out when Russell Wilson’s pass to Courtland Sutton in the end zone was ruled incomplete in the fourth quarter. Denver successfully challenged the ruling and was placed on the board.
That score, along with a successful two-point conversion on a Javonte Williams rush, marked the beginning and end of the Broncos’ successful offense Thursday night.
Their final drive ended with a fumble by running back Samaj Perrin.

The ignominious ending summed up how fans felt watching the Broncos offense on Thursday.

Our OL continues to be an issue considering Russell Wilson barely had time to pitch for much of this game. Once he was able to run on his own, we started moving the ball. #BroncosCountry

Broncos’ offense completely failed#DENvsKC
The Broncos will take a long break to regroup before seeking their second win of the season with a 2-3 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 22.
