Following the Denver Broncos sixth loss of the season, there was a lot of finger pointing, from both fans and players. One person, though, stood up and took the blame upon himself.
Oddly enough, that one person was one of the few people that didn’t participate in Sunday’s loss to the New England Patriots.
Blame it all on me I'm sorry we have to move on and get better on to the next

On to the next game but blame it all on me I'll take the blame

Why is C.J. Anderson taking the blame? He wasn’t a part of the putrid o-line performance. He didn’t throw that interception to Logan Ryan. He didn’t drop one of the three critical third-down passes.
So, again, why is Anderson falling on the sword?
Maybe it’s because he believes he would have made a difference had he been out on the field, and he’s probably right. His 4.0 yards per carry this season is a good deal better than Devontae Booker‘s 3.4, and his ability in the passing game, both as a receiver and blocker, are definitely missed.
But still, of all the people that can be blamed for Sunday’s defeat, C.J. Anderson is last on the list.
