For the second year under Vic Fangio, the Broncos had their chances to win an early season game but let a lead slip in the last minutes of the game. Denver had their chances in this game to put it away. A drive in the first half that stalled at the Tennessee 1 yard line likely would have been the difference. But overall the Broncos just did not play a very clean game. The Titans averaged worse starting field position (Their own 21 vs Denver's 27) but averaged more yards on their drives by an 11 yard margin (41 to 30). The Broncos especially hurt themselves in the 2nd half with 3 and outs with 3 that came at crucial moments. Just out of the half the Broncos had a chance to really put pressure on the Titans, but a Jerry Jeudy drop that would have been a big gain ended that drive. The next one also went 3 and out, keeping the game close and allowing the Titans to have a chance in the end. The defense also gave up 3 long drives in that 2nd half, with drives lasting 14, 15 and 12 plays. Overall the Titans were able to pick up 52% of their potential yards, limiting Denver to just 41% of their own. This was a sloppy first game, and Denver was missing Courtland Sutton, Von Miller and others as the game went on. But it felt like the same story of the last four years, an offense that cant make timely plays and a defense that bends at the worst moments.
