Failed fake punt on Sunday still stings for Broncos

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – It has been almost a week since a fake punt attempt went awry for the Denver Broncos and yet special teams coordinator Brock Olivo took a few moments Friday to say “it’s on me."

The Broncos faced a fourth-and-2 at their own 31-yard line just before the end of the third quarter of last Sunday’s 26-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Broncos intended to run their starting offense off the field after the third-down play, then mix their starting offensive line in with the punt team running on the field and then run the ball against a Bills' defensive formation that was mostly defensive backs in for punt coverage.
