The second most brutal loss of the season for the Denver Broncos featured some excellent highs, but mostly embarrassing lows from the officials. The officiating added quite a bit to a bad night for Denver against the Detroit Lions.
Third Quarter Sequence
The most notable sequence of the game was a goal to go series that saw Denver marked at less than the 1 yard line on two consecutive plays. Gene Steratore disliked the call on 2nd down, and thought replay showed McLaughlin scored, but thought the spot was good on third down that had Javonte Williams short of the line to gain.
