Levi Wallace comments ‘worst game’ of his life against Browns

“This was the worst game I ever played in my life,” Broncos cornerback Levi Wallace said of his performance against the Browns.

With Riley Moss (knee) sidelined, the Denver Broncos turned to veteran cornerback Levi Wallace against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13.

Wallace struggled in a Monday Night Football spotlight as he was repeatedly targeted by Browns quarterback Jameis Winston. Wallace allowed seven receptions on 11 targets for 164 yards and a touchdown, according to advanced stats from Pro Football Reference.

Wallace was eventually benched in the fourth quarter in favor of rookie Kris Abrams-Draine and Denver held on to win 41-32. Following a bye week, Wallace commented on his poor showing against the Browns for the first time after Wednesday’s practice.

“Every time. Plays got made on me and I didn’t make plays. Simple as that,” Wallace said, via KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. “Can’t blame anyone else. … This is the NFL. You go through good, go through bad. This was the worst game I ever played in my life. I flush it.”

The Broncos are now set to host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday and Moss remains sidelined. It would not be surprising to see a different cornerback (perhaps Abrams-Draine) start over Wallace against Indy.

“Wherever the coach needs me,’’ Wallace told The Gazette‘s Chris Tomasson. “We all know the importance of this game. I know especially myself I didn’t put the best stuff on tape last week. But when you play this long you have some good games and you have some bad games. I take accountability for what I did last week and you move forward. It’s football. You have to find a way in playing in knowing that it’s a week-to-week league.”

Wallace, 29, has played in all 13 games this season, totaling 28 tackles and two pass breakups. We’ll see if he suits up on Sunday.
