Breaking down how the Broncos broke down

Happy Tuesday, everyone. I hope all of your teams were victorious in Week 1. Mine weren't, but we don't need to talk about that. Let's get right to it. THE Call them lucky, call them Ty Montgomery Jersey feisty, call them still not very good, call them... undefeated. The Seahawks beat the . We'll get to how the Broncos blew it, but first, let's credit Seattle. went 23 for 28 for 195 yards, two touchdowns and, crucially, no turnovers.Tight ends and combined for five catches, 86 yards and two touchdowns.Seattle went 6 for 11 (55 percent) on 3rd down.The defense was the most pleasant surprise, though. The young defensive backs held up well even after . Seattle simply made more plays in the most crucial junctures. The expectations were not very high for the Seahawks entering this season, and they still might not be. But led by their former quarterback's backup and several Denver cast-offs, they're 1-0 after a hard-fought win not many people thought they would get. There are few better feelings than that. Honorable mentions Mike Trout , one shy of tying the all-time record.The Dodgers Rodney Harrison Jersey (for real this time).after all. And the is good, too. Carlos Alcaraz as the youngest ATP No. 1-ranked player ever.THE DENVER BRONCOS The situation was perfect: in hisBroncos debut, back in Seattle, with Denver down by one with 4:02 left.Broncos Country, let's... settle for a 64-yard field goal attempt after completely mismanaging the clock?Is that how the saying goes? That's exactly whatNathaniel Hackett -- in his head-coaching debut -- decided. Near midfield shortly after the two-minute warning, Denver's final four offensive plays were... 1:24 remaining, 1st and 10 at Denver 49: Wilson had almost no time to throw and flicked a pa s to for a lo s of 4 yards.1:13 remaining, 2nd and 14 at Denver 45: Wilson incomplete pa s.1:11 remaining, 3rd and 14 at Denver 45: Wilson's short pa s to Williams for 9 yards.0:20 remaining, 4th and 5 at Seattle 46: After the Broncos finally call a timeout, mi ses a 64-yard field goal.I'm sure that when the Broncos to acquire Wilson and then , settling for 64-yard field goals is exactly what they had in mind, right? I cannot po sibly tell you wrong it felt, but the following career numbers may help: Wilson's teams on 4th down with 4-6 yards to go: 12-21 (57%), including 10-14 (71%) since 2017McManus on 60+ yard field goals: 1-8 (13%)Since he entered the league in 2012, Wilson has 32 game-winning drives, more than anyone except .But the Broncos still decided to take the ball out of Wilson's hands Joshuah Bledsoe Jersey in his debut. As far as Hackett's clock mismanagement: by letting it run down to 20 seconds remaining before using his timeout, he guaranteed the Broncos would have no shot to get the ball back if McManus mi sed, meaning his defense -- which allowed zero points the second half -- never got the chance for one final stop. Instead, he showed confidence in neither his historically clutch quarterback nor his dominant defense and opted to have his kicker -- a very good kicker, but still -- try to set a new career long. Here are some more nightmarish numbers for the Broncos to look over: The only team to fumble on a play from the opponent's 1-yard line twice in the same game since 1987Zero touchdowns on four red zone tripsTwelve penalties for 106 yards, including five pre-snap penalties by the offense (remember, Wilson got no preseason work)In 2021, teams went 35-2 Ja'Whaun Bentley Jersey (.946 win pct) when they out-gained opponents by at least 180 yards, as the Broncos did Monday.In 2021, teams went 45-5 (.900 win pct) when they held opponents scorele s in the second half, as the Broncos did Monday.The Broncos may be just fine. There is a ton of talent. But wins are simply too valuable -- and too difficult to earn -- to just throw away. Or, rather, kick away. Not so honorable mentions .

Astros (prev: 2)3. Braves (prev: 3)4. Mets (prev: 5)5. Cardinals (prev: 4) Things aren't so rosy for another AL East team: The Orioleswere this week's biggest fallers, going from 10th to 15th, and they've lost six of eight.

A new home run chase but the same debate: If Aaron Judge gets to 62 home runs this season ---- will he be the "real" home run king? The question only exists, of course, because the only players to hit more than 62 are Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa.
