Sunday, all the Denver Broncos can do is play out the string as they host the Oakland Raiders.
As of late Christmas night, the Broncos knew their season was, for all intents and purposes, over.
The 33-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs confirmed many of the Broncos’ problems in 2016.
The inability to run the ball in key situations and the lack of balance on offense is appalling.
Even the vaunted defense was too exhausted in the 4th Quarter Sunday, with nothing left to give.
The Broncos’ inability to play complementary football has been a problem all season.
