Sean Payton lost his coaching debut with the Broncos with such a tired and lame strategy that even a knucklehead like Nathaniel Hackett wouldn’t have thought of it.
Kiszla: The sun in Broncos Country no longer rises and sets for the pleasure of quarterback Russell Wilson
The strategy failed because Tremon Smith of the Broncos kickoff team committed a penalty, touching the football before it traveled the required 10 yards after leaving the boot of Lutz. But nobody confuses Las Vegas quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for Manning. And the Raiders are a bad team, maybe the only team in the AFC West with worse talent than Denver.
The onside kick was a tacit vote of no-confidence in the Broncos’ ability to beat Las Vegas straight up. This ain’t prep football or intramurals, brother. It’s the NFL. The offensive game plan seemed designed to minimize mistakes by Wilson, who needed 34 pass attempts to gain 177 yards but couldn’t gain so much as a first down after Denver surrendered the lead in the fourth quarter. The Broncos defense, which failed to generate so much as one lousy sack, couldn’t get off the field as the scoreboard clock ticked to zero.
