Broncos offense faces challenge of rebounding vs. gnarly Commanders defense. Can Wilson find more explosive plays vs a team tough on third down?
Despite all the change – new coach, 40 percent roster turnover – the Broncos produced 16 points. That’s the same number they scored in last season’s opener. And the same total they averaged a year ago, a campaign that Broncos Country wishes fell under the scope of selective amnesia.
Wilson remains optimistic about improvement, and while tight end Greg Dulcich will be out for multiple weeks, receiver Jerry Jeudy could return. He is needed, but the Washington Commanders’ defense is no one’s idea of a panacea. Per The Washington Post, Washington hasn’t allowed an opponent to convert more than four third downs in their last eight games, dating to last season. Washington ranked first in third down prevention a year ago.
“I feel it was a decent debut. It would have been great to get the win and there were, of course, some things we need to clean up,” Perine said Monday. “But there were a lot of positives to take away from this game and I am just excited to see how we keep moving forward.”
