Broncos report card: Another ugly night for everybody but the defense in loss to Chargers

This grade looked headed for a better fate early in the game when Russell Wilson started 10-of-10 and hit nine different receivers, including tight end Greg Dulcich for a touchdown. That it still finishes with a failing mark speaks to how bad Denver was down the stretch. Seven punts and a zero-yard field goal “drive” from halftime onward. Zero first downs in two overtime chances. A 3-of-15 after-halftime passing mark for Wilson and just 15 yards. Minus-9 if you include the sack yardage. Simply dreadful production coming off an 11-day layoff.

Defense — B

Denver’s defense really just had one issue Monday night: Third-down performance The Chargers converted half of their 22 chances, including nine of their first 14.
