Misery Index · Despair
Broncos fans watching a second straight late collapse and concluding the team is simply allergic to closing games.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
The B.Nix-to-C.Sutton 52-yard strike and a recovered onside-style fumble by J.Skinner had Denver positioned to steal one, then J.Herbert found K.Allen deep left with 2:44 left and C.Dicker walked off a 43-yarder at the gun. Two late-game collapses in two weeks, and the fanbase is no longer asking polite questions about clock management — they're wondering if closing games is simply beyond this roster's reach.
