A lot of talk in Broncos Country has gone on this week around Head Coach Nathaniel Hackett and his various gaffes with play calling and game management, but the biggest issue might be on the players themselves to clean up. Penalties.
In my 15 years of covering the team, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Denver Broncos start their first two games with 25 penalties. They are on pace for over 200 on that rate and the NFL record for a single season is 158. They need to a sharp turn back towards the mean this week against the San Francisco 49ers.
