“Studs and Duds” is “uncomfortable and difficult” after Broncos loss in Pittsburgh

Honorable Mention Stud and Dud – Demaryius Thomas

Yes, he had another critical drop late in the game, but Thomas rebounded nicely from what was arguably his worst game as a pro against the Raiders.

Thomas pulled down two touchdown catches in the first half, moving him into solo fourth place on the Broncos’ all-time TD receptions list, then into a tie for third place with Ed McCaffrey.

But Thomas finished the day with only five catches on 12 targets. After pulling in the first catch of the second half, he did not have another for the remainder of the game despite six targets.
