Broncos Report Card: Fill-ins on defense, field goal block team save offense, coaches

Seventeen points against a Washington team that entered Sunday having allowed a league-high 210 points? Bad. Going fumble (recovered)-incompletion-fumble (lost) on the last offensive draft? Really bad. The Broncos’ offense couldn’t even take advantage of a defense that was allowing 406 yards per game, gaining only 273 on 51 plays. The bright spots were the return of Jerry Jeudy (team-high four catches) and tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (three catches) and decent work on third down (7 of 13). The first two drives showed promise before they were derailed by penalties and a sack. Just one mistake per possession will derail this offense.
