ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Before the Denver Broncos’ season opener Monday, there were those who believed running back Javonte Williams might break 11 tackles in a game, have 11 carries in a quarter or even make his teammates celebrate 11 times after rumbling over yet another defender.
But Williams making 11 receptions likely wouldn’t have been on the list. Yet the second-year running back had exactly that in the 17-16 loss to the Seahawks, recording six more catches than any other Broncos player. And coach Nathaniel Hackett has said the Broncos will keep on throwing the ball to Williams if it gives him the chance to get a little room to work in the open field.
