An opening-drive touchdown gave way to more struggles for the Broncos’ offense Sunday against Las Vegas — interception, punt, punt, punt and sack to finish the first half.
But down only 10 points, the Broncos received the opening second-half kickoff and a chance to start a comeback. Instead, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater ended up on his back on three consecutive drop-backs. The Broncos punted (again) and the Raiders scored (again) to take command of an eventual 34-24 shellacking.
Bridgewater ended the game with a bruised foot and the Broncos’ offensive line should have ended the game with bruised pride.
