Twitter recap of Broncos’ 16-14 loss to Titans

In front of empty nearly stands due to coronavirus health precautions, the Denver Broncos lost to the Tennessee Titans 16-14 in Week 1, breaking a seven-game home-opening win streak. Titans kicker Stephen Gostkowski was terrible until he hit the game-winning field goal with 17 seconds left to play. Here’s a Twitter recap of the game.

 

For the Broncos’ first scoring drive of the season, tight end Noah Fant caught a nine-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Drew Lock. The drive was 10 plays for 63 yards. Kicker Brandon McManus made the extra point kick.

 

Running back Melvin Gordon made a one-yard touchdown run, with McManus kicking the extra point. The scoring drive was nine plays for 75 yards.

This field goal brings Gostkowski’s NFL career total to 375.

Left offensive tackle Garret Bolles played well throughout the game, showing progress by not committing a holding penalty. Fant was effective during the first half with five catches for 81 yards and one touchdown. Lock  also played well, throwing 22-33 passes for 216 yards and one touchdown. Gordon’s debut as a Bronco yielded 14 carries for 78 yards and one touchdown.

But losses of starters linebacker Von Miller, receiver Courtland Sutton, running back Phillip Lindsay, and cornerback A.J. Bouye before and during the game left the Broncos shorthanded, especially in the fourth quarter.

Next week, the Broncos have an away game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It should be a challenge for this young squad.
