Well, it wasn’t very pretty, but the first preseason game rarely is. Denver had a horrendous start to their first game action as the first team offense and defense started slow and never got a chance to redeem themselves.

While it’s way too early to start getting a feel for how the team will look, there are still some things we learned after tonight’s preseason game.

1. Denver needs a backup quarterback

Paxton Lynch is now in his third preseason/camp and hasn’t shown any growth as a passer. If anything, what we saw tonight was a regression.
