DENVER -- The moment the football popped loose 5:29 into the second quarter, you knew the night was going to end badly for Ronnie Hillman.
You knew because you'd heard the no-uncertain terms mandate of Offensive Coordinator Adam Gase, who stood on a box after practice three days earlier and declared that fumbles were "unacceptable," his repetition of the term clearly putting the entire offense on notice, his tone more forceful and urgent than had been the norm for his question-and-answer sessions.
"He kind of eased into it, but you know that it is and he was right," Hillman said. "Turnovers, especially when they result in a touchdown, are bad for the offense, and it's poison."
