Sepulcher of Doom
Your quarterback tossed two interceptions and not a single touchdown? It might be good to go back and review the game tape. Did Marcus Mariota seem rattled back there in the pocket, or was the Broncos secondary just that great defending the pass? What do you think, Sepulcher of Doom, do we continue to start him with confidence?
