There's no way around it, Denver Broncos underperformed, at least compared to projections, as Green Bay Packers emerged victorious with a 193.08-165.68 win. Denver Broncos earned a 1-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but Green Bay Packers held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Aaron Jones (35 points) and Nate Hobbs (20). Courtland Sutton (24.7 points) and Drake London (24.6) carried the flag for Denver Broncos in the loss. Green Bay Packers (1-1) will look to earn another win against Miami Dolphins, while Denver Broncos (0-2) take on Buffalo Bills in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Green Bay Packers
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Green Bay Packers. It takes real gumption to deploy a player with zero points (Dominique Robinson), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
Denver Broncos
"Not getting enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Denver Broncos. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 31 targets in Week 2. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they hauled in just 17 catches.
