Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon fumbled again on Sunday, marking the fifth time he has fumbled this season and the 12th time he’s fumbled in 41 games with the team dating back to the 2020 season.
Gordon’s fumble in Week 11 came at the three-yard line when Denver was facing a third-and-one in the second quarter. Had the Broncos picked up a first down and went on to score a touchdown, Denver would have taken a 17-7 lead over the Raiders just before halftime.
Instead, Gordon’s fumble set the Broncos back four yards and the team’s ensuing fourth-down field goal attempt was blocked. Denver ended up taking a 10-7 lead into halftime and later lost the game 22-16 in overtime.
Gordon’s fumble was a momentum-swinging play that cost the Broncos points in a game that ultimately ended up being a one-score game. At some point, Denver’s staff has to realize that Gordon’s lows outweigh his highs.
Here’s a sampling of how Twitter reacted to Gordon’s latest fumble on Sunday.
