He had 5 catches for 54 yards. Not the best stats ever, but I wouldn't even call it mediocre. He made plays every time he had a chance. I remember one in particular where he was just standing wide open and Siemian threw and awful pass that he had to dive back to catch. That probably is a TD or at least gets way more yards with a better throw.

This team sure likes to make things interesting. Agree with your list though I'm inclined to throw Sunshine into the good category simply because of that clutch TD reception to set the tone in the first half.
Today may have been one of, if not DT's best game as a Bronco though. Siemian threw him some tough balls and he came up with them each and every time. The guy was a total beast today.
Go Broncos!

Nothing has changed with the officiating rules. Sure, Parks looked out but the call was that he was in and it means it has to be conclusive to overturn. It wasnt conclusive. Denver wins.
I guess its hard for me to evaluate Sanders on that play without seeing what he would have done with the catch. I just don't feel like he made the impact that he typically does, so like I said, maybe it's not "bad" but it's not Sanders' best.
That particular play was bad, because Sanders was wide open and Siemian has to get him the ball. That's on Siemian.

I thought Sanders was just fine in this game. Two things I remember in particular that would have gotten him more stats - Siemian had a ball tipped that Sanders would have easily caught for a first down. He was hopping up and down about. And the more egregious one was when Siemian tried to force it into double coverage to Green. Sanders was literally next to Green and wide open.
Great - DT and Stewart. Special teams execution of XP block.
Good - Defense
Fair - Siemian. Got beat up yet made enough plays, but accuracy concerns persist. The line didn't help him look good, but DT damned sure did.
Bad - Offensive control of LOS.

Run defense - didn't get gashed. Solid effort by a unit that needed one.
DT - best game for him in a while. Big effort on the TD catch and other big plays.
The bad - offensive line. Cut and paste from prior weeks. Stephenson got benched he was so bad. No quick fix here, just have to hope we can be passable down the stretch. This wasn't a good defense we played and we gave up six sacks.
Inability to close out drives - we had a lot of opportunities in this game to make it a laugher and couldn't seal the deal. End of first half stands out (big swing there that came into play later), the missed FG, settling for a FG after the second Stewart INT, not converting one yard runs twice.
Siemian - I debated putting him here. He's so frustrating to watch because he has some really good moments and then some really awful ones. The line did him no favors but both interceptions were poor and that second one was nearly back breaking. Missed opportunities (see my post on Sanders above) and some brutal overthrows to no one in particular. Needs to be better if we're going to do anything in the next few weeks.
