Englewood, Colo. • His teammates and even his boss have had it with Broncos grabby left tackle Garett Bolles, who suggested officials are unfairly targeting him for holding infractions.
Their 2017 first-round draft pick was flagged four times for holding in Denver’s 16-14 loss to Chicago on Sunday, giving him 34 yellow flags in 34 starts, 26 of them for grabbing his opponent.
The laggard left tackle exacerbated his troubles by suggesting afterward that the officials are picking on him.
Coach Vic Fangio and star receiver Emmanuel Sanders admonished Bolles to quit grabbing jerseys, putting his hands outside the framework of defenders and finishing plays by tackling his opponent to the ground.
