Five things we learned from the Broncos’ 42-28 preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday (Non-Quarterback Dept.):
1. Vance Joseph should not set a limit on playing time against Chicago.
On two occasions last week, Joseph said the Broncos’ starters would play two possessions “max” against Minnesota. He did not stray from that plan even though the offense went three-and-out twice and the defense gave up three plays of at least 20 yards on their first possession.
Against Chicago, Joseph should keep the starters on the field until he feels like they’ve accomplished something.
