In outlining his bottom-line approach to success and failure, Denver quarterback Russell Wilson last week noted two situational areas of the game.
“We’re playing behind the chains,” Hackett said. “I feel like a broken record, we’ve been saying that for the first five games, whether it be a penalty, whether it be a drop, a missed execution or things like that and it starts with me. I have to do better coaching the guys, I have to do a better job of making sure the guys know where to be, when to be there and for to be able to see it to execute it.
“It’s across the board, whether it’s a run play or a pass play, because if you’re playing behind the chains as much as we are, it’s going to be hard to move the ball,” Hackett said.The Broncos failed to score touchdowns on their first six trips inside opponents’ 20-yard line this season, then looked to be getting back on track with three scores in four tries. Against the Colts, though, Denver failed all four times. On the season, they have four touchdowns in 13 red zone visits, a 21.
Twice the Broncos combined their issues, facing a third-and-12 from the Indy 14 and a third-and-goal from the 16. “You’re going to do your best to take a shot or have somebody run around and make a play, but those situations we can’t have.”The Broncos didn’t get any points on two of the four trips to the red zone because of the interception and a blocked Brandon McManus field goal attempt, and on another drive Denver started at the Indianapolis 27-yard line after Caden Sterns’ second interception of the night.
