One of the biggest surprises of the Broncos’ 43-21 loss to the Patriots in Foxborough, Mass., last weekend was how little tight end Julius Thomas was used.
Thomas, who has been one of the Broncos’ most lethal weapons on offense this season, leads the league in receiving touchdowns (10). But on Sunday, he was targeted just twice for 33 yards and didn’t get his first look until the third quarter. Meanwhile, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski compiled 105 yards on nine receptions with one touchdown and a one-handed grab that had even his quarterback in awe.
So what happened to Thomas? And how can the Broncos get him more looks Sunday against the Raiders?
