The Broncos led for much of the second half of Thursday night’s offensively-challenged game against the Colts, but home fans in Denver never seemed comfortable with how things were transpiring. In the end, they were proven right.
The game has called into question Russell Wilson’s status as a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback. The former Seahawks signal caller has struggled in his first few games with the Broncos, especially late in Thursday’s game, with two second-half interceptions and a bad miss on fourth down in overtime that sealed the Broncos fate.
The first interception came late in the third quarter, with Denver up 9–6. Wilson sailed a throw intended for KJ Hamler, which went right to safety Rodney Thomas at the Colts four-yard line.
