Our Reading
This one felt recognizable early.
Fans watched Stidham come to life, only to stumble into a classic blunder. He had a touchdown, but that ill-timed backward pass made it feel like a familiar heartbreak. Will Lutz’s missed field goal added to the tension. The Broncos appeared ready to break free but simply fell into their old patterns.
