The Denver Broncos offense struggled in Sunday’s season opener against the Tennessee Titans, but they still found a way to win 20-12.
In our latest installment of the film room, I take a look at Bo Nix and the good start he had earlier in the game on the first series, and where things fell apart.
On Nix’s interceptions, how did the Titans’ defense play the Broncos offense, and why did they feel comfortable sitting in zone for a large portion of the game?
There wasn’t a lot of rhythm throughout the game, but there are little bits and pieces sprinkled throughout the game that give hints to some things Sean Payton could do down the road.
Nix has to be better with some of his decision-making, but the Titans did a lot to prevent downfield plays from developing, and he took some chances on the hope that his arm strength would get the ball to his receivers.
I also take a look at several run plays, including RJ Harvey’s 50-yard run in the fourth quarter, followed by J.K. Dobbins’ 19-yard touchdown run, and analyze how the Broncos offensive line looked in pass protection and in setting up the run.
The urgency to improve increases even more now after Week 1.
