Editor’s note: Seventh of a series providing a position-by-position review of the Broncos in 2017 and looking ahead. Today: offensive line.
Matt Paradis snapped the ball to Paxton Lynch on the Broncos’ final offensive play of the 2017 season and turned his attention toward a blitzing linebacker.
After thwarting the blitz, Denver’s center then pivoted to his left and helped chip another Kansas City pass rusher. His actions helped give Lynch enough time to deliver a throw into the end zone to Demaryius Thomas for a game-tying touchdown late in what would eventually become the Broncos’ 11th loss in a forgettable season.
