Broncos report card: London game won’t be hung in a museum, but a win’s a win

Beat writer ParkerJGabriel grades the Broncos’ performance in a 21-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Wembley Stadium.

That this went anywhere but the bottom of the North Atlantic after Denver’s first four drives is surprising enough. Those drives went 12 plays, 10 yards and zero first downs with three punts around an interception. That Russell Wilson and company put three real, actual American touchdowns on the board at Wembley Stadium — including two in the second half, and a game-winner to boot — stands as progress.

Wilson and company will garner a lot of the attention and take up much of the conversation between now and when the Broncos go to Nashville in two weeks, but they don’t win this game without another sterling outing from the defense. Guys keep getting hurt and others keep stepping up. In London, that group included outside linebackers Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper. Ejiro Evero’s group keeps playing hard. Outside of giving up 32 points to Las Vegas, this unit is allowing 14.2 points per game.
