The Sean Payton era of the Denver Broncos got off to a dud of a start Sunday afternoon with a 17-16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders at home.
No, that’s not a copy-and-paste typo from last season. The team literally lost by one point in a 17-16 contest in Week 1 yet again.
The game, however, appeared much more crisp early on than it did the past season, and Russell Wilson looked to be much more in sync with the offense. But still, the overall effort was disappointing, the post-McManus kicking is still disastrous, and the post-Chubb/Miller pass rush is pathetic.
