After losing Javonte Williams early in the season to a torn ACL, the Denver Broncos found themselves much weaker at the running back position. In an effort to add depth to the position, the Broncos signed Latavius Murray off of the New Orleans Saints practice squad. Melvin Gordon was used primarily as the starting running back, but it didn’t take long for him to fumble away his spot on the roster.
Enter Murray.
With how abysmal the season had been going, and how poor the offensive line had been performing, not much was really expected of Murray.
