Closing notes from INVESCO Field at Mile High as the Broncos look to quickly nurse and heal the wounds from their first home regular-season defeat in 23 months …
- Did the Broncos miss defensive tackle Gerard Warren, who was scratched from the lineup with a sprained ankle? If you ask defensive end Ebenezer Ekuban, absolutely. “Of course you’re going to miss him,” Ekuban said. “He brings certain things to that fron that I think no other guy can get in there and do.”
- Mike Bell’s jukes and tough yardage, Cecil Sapp’s bursts into the open field and Jake Plummer’s timely scrambles helped the Broncos have their best rushing day of the season to date, with 227 yards on 36 carries. The 227 yards were the Broncos’ most in a loss since they amassed 240 yards in a 31-27 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Dec. 10, 1995. You might remember that as the Glyn Milburn game; he gained an NFL single-game record 404 combined yards that day, 131 coming on the ground.
