The 2020 season ended with one of the better all around performances form the team, as the offense looked good and gained 53% of their potential yards, while the defense held the Raiders to just 37% of theirs. But, it did come down to opportunities, as the Broncos had 4 turnovers forced and walked away on those drives with just 10 points. Not hitting those opportunities is going to have to be something the Broncos must do next season, or things will stay just as rough as they have been. The defense played well almost all game, until the 4th when the depleted secondary just couldn't hold on any longer, allowing a pair of long scoring drives.
Despite the result and some frustrations with scoring opportunities, this game was probably the best overall game the team has played this year. Lock and Jeudy finally clicked, and the defense forced turnovers and held the Raiders down most of the day. It showcased just how talented this team is overall, and that with a little bit of luck and bit of a talent infusion in the offseason this team can compete against anyone. Its disappointing that the season is done, but it does mean its time to start focusing on the next steps for a team that has to make some headway next year.
