DENVER — Running back Michael Carter heard what his coach said about him, the glowing praise he offered after the rookie’s impressive performance last Sunday. Robert Saleh called it "electric." Carter wasn’t as lit up over it.
Carter racked up a team-high 88 yards on 13 touches against New England. But he wasn’t close to being satisfied.
