A final overtime pass from Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson fell incomplete in the end zone during Thursday night’s game against the Colts, resulting in yet another ugly loss for a Denver team and offense that entered the season with lofty expectations.
Perhaps no one was more frustrated with the result of that last snap than Broncos receiver KJ Hamler, who appeared to be rather open as the play developed.
Denver faced a fourth-and-1 from the Indianapolis’ 5-yard line late in overtime and opted to go for it rather than kick a field goal. Wilson took the snap and dropped back to pass but never looked in Hamler’s direction as the third-year receiver got wide open on a slant. Instead, the Broncos quarterback forced a throw into Courtland Sutton, which was broken up by Colts cornerback Stephon Gilmore.
