Misery Index · Miserable
Broncos fans blaming the refs, mourning Bryant, and too tired to pretend the 20-34 loss to Jacksonville stings less.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
R.Harvey's 38-yard touchdown run gave Denver real life in the third quarter, and then P.Washington proceeded to gash the secondary for chunks of 20 and 63 yards on back-to-back drives that flipped the game for good. The officiating will dominate the postgame group chat, but a defense that let T.Lawrence carve it up that easily has bigger problems than the stripes. The Bryant injury news hangs over all of it.
What fans said
“It really sucks having a good defense in today's nfl.”
