Broncos Briefs: Questionable spot leads to hurried missed field-goal attempt from Brandon McManus

LAS VEGAS — Having already made a season-best 55-yard field goal in Sunday’s first half against the Las Vegas Raiders, kicker Brandon McManus was wide left from the same distance with 13 seconds left in the third quarter of the Broncos’ 17-13 loss.

If good, McManus’ kick would have given the Broncos a 16-14 lead.

Confusion may have contributed to a rushed kick.

The Broncos started at their 42-yard line after defensive end Shelby Harris’ strip sack of Raiders quarterback Derek Carr. They crossed midfield on receiver Tim Patrick’s 13-yard catch, but faced a third-and-7 when two Javonte Williams rush attempts gained only three yards.
