GAME STORY | The 12-9 loss goes down as the worst in a string of lackluster offensive performances to open the Russell Wilson era in Denver. via ParkerJGabriel BroncosCountry INDvsDEN
Twice in the waning moments of Thursday night’s game against Indianapolis, the Broncos’ offensive braintrust had to decide between playing for a first down or going for broke.Twice they put the ball in quarterback Russell Wilson’s hands and asked him to make the play they wanted rather than the one they needed.
Not long before that final sequence, the Broncos had Indianapolis on the ropes after finally finding some run-game success and bleeding the visitors of all three timeouts as the two-minute warning approached. Melvin Gordon picked up nine yards and change on three rushes but Denver faced a fourth-and-1 from the 5-yard line. Quarterback sneak? Run play? Play-fake from under center?
“We went to Courtland there and made a good play,” Wilson said. “I was ready to move around if I needed to. … We went for it. We didn’t want to end up tied. We wanted to win the game. That was our mentality.This is the type of game Denver general manager George Paton traded five draft picks and three players for Wilson this spring to win.“The good thing, one thing I know about myself is I’m going to respond. I don’t know any other way,” said Wilson, who finished 21-of-39 for 274 yards.
