When the game started in Week 10, the Denver Broncos looked like a different team. They had a 66-yard touchdown pass from Russell Wilson to Jalen Virgil and with just over two minutes to play in the half, they were up 10-0. But then, things fell apart.
Tennessee scored 17 unanswered points and their chances ended on a fourth-and-eight from the Titans’ 25-yard line when Wilson was picked off by Terence Mitchell. That knocked the Broncos down to 3-6 on the season which is a huge shock.
After adding Wilson in a huge offseason trade, they were supposed to be contenders this year. Instead, they’re one of the worst offenses and there’s little hope of that changing in 2022.

Early on this season, the Atlanta Falcons were one of the teams surprising the league as they were pulling off several unexpected wins. Now, they’ve come back down to earth as they’re 1-3 in their past four games with two losses in a row.
Their latest loss was huge as they fell to 4-6 and allowed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to take over in the NFC South. It was frustrating not only due to the fall in the standings but they were facing a team with just two wins in Carolina.
Even more concerning is the play of Marcus Mariota who is trending in the wrong direction — and it’s happening in a hurry.
