This season is a bottomless pit of despair and this last week saw a new low on a continued descent downward. One week after losing to Sam Darnold in his very first start of the season, Denver looked to take on the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson. On paper, this seemed like a no-brain victory for Baltimore, but early on Denver held a lead and Jackson endured a knee injury that would force him from the game and bring in the third-year backup QB Tyler Huntley.
Denver’s defense continued its dominance over the entirety of the league allowing only 10 points on the afternoon and even generating multiple turnovers, one of the few areas where Denver’s defense hasn’t been a league leader this season.
