Sorry, Joe, you own this loss too
Photo by Bobby Ellis/Getty ImagesWhen the clock struck 0:00 and the Broncos had lost their third football game of 2019 by a last-second field goal, the untrained eye may pin the loss on the defense.
But that would be a mistake.
No doubt a barely missed sack/safety by Von Miller, which turned into a 46-yard reception by T.Y. Hilton to get the Colts to midfield and still a minute and a half to play was a gut punch. And when Alexander Johnson got a 15-yard penalty two plays later for a “horse-collar tackle” that moved the Colts into range for the soon-to-be-winning field goal, the nails in the coffin were being hammered.
But nothing about this loss belongs to the D.
