The Broncos suffered their eighth loss of the season on Sunday, losing to the division rival Las Vegas Raiders in overtime, 22-16. The only thing that could bring some sort of moral victory at this point is witnessing that the Broncos are competing, but losing close games: every loss has been within single digits, with the largest loss being by nine points.
But we all know moral victories don’t mean much, especially when a team such as the Broncos had high expectations going into this season. And just as Davante Adam’s pulled a Damian Lillard and waved goodbye on the Raiders walk-off touchdown, it wouldn’t be surprising if many pundits are waving goodbye to the Broncos season (if they haven’t already).
Davante Adams. OT game winner. Enough said‼️

Elon Musk’s Twitter hasn’t been kind to the Broncos in losses. Let’s dive in to see what the social media platform had to say after the game.
Well, he had one of his best games of the year at least!

Nagoya can’t call him Nick Wrong for this one..
Apologies if someone else has already tweeted this, but the Broncos would now be 9-1 if they had scored 18 points in regulation every game. 9-1!!!

Colin is ruthless
If the Denver Broncos put together an offensive highlight reel from this season, they would probably have to include random first downs and field goals.

Hyperbole…hopefully
The Russell Wilson trade will go down as the worst trade in the history of sports
