After the opening drive against the Los Angeles Chargers, we were all ecstatic about the Denver Broncos. I was thinking (more so hoping) that they finally turned a page in the run game and could now be a team that dominates time of possession and abuses opposing front sevens. I was still feeling that way during the second drive. And then that hope was rekindled at the beginning of the second half.
And then that hope was smashed to pieces.
What is up with the refusal to consistently run the ball even when the play sheet literally says in big words at the top “RUN IT”?
