Like just about everything that took place with the Denver Broncos offense this past season, the running back tandem of second-year back Javonte Williams and veteran Melvin Gordon, expected to be one of the more formidable duos in the league, fell flat on its face.
Williams, coming off a stellar rookie campaign in which he finished just shy of 1,000 yards rushing, started the season off at least better than the rest of his offensive teammates, but four games into the season would be lost for the season due to a devastating knee injury.
Gordon, of course, had a nasty habit of dipping the ball in movie theater butter before every series, but even when he held onto the ball, he wasn’t exactly moving the sticks.
