The Denver Broncos kicked off a new season on Sunday, and it looked a lot like an old season.
One year after falling to the Seattle Seahawks 17-16 in their 2022 season opener, the Broncos lost to the Las Vegas Raiders 17-16 in their 2023 season opener.
Similar to last year, it was a winnable game in which Denver squandered opportunities and made little mistakes that added up to a one-point loss.
Following a disappointing loss to a division rival, the Broncos have once again started 0-1 after an offseason of raised expectations, just like last year. Here are ten takeaways from Sunday’s defeat at home.
