The Broncos’ 19-8 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday Night Football was another stain on quarterback Russell Wilson’s legacy in Denver. He threw for 95 yards — third-fewest in his career — a touchdown and two interceptions as the Broncos struggled to establish their passing game, despite the defense holding up its end.“To win in our league, you have to be better at throwing the ball,” coach Sean Payton said following Denver’s 16th straight loss to its divisional foe.On Monday, Payton clarified that his comment wasn’t directed at any one player but on the entire offense, and he’s right. The Broncos’ last two losses to the New York Jets and Kansas City have exposed issues within the passing offense, from play calling and protection to lack of production from wide receivers and Wilson.“You want to have confidence in the pocket, and we need to find ways to get guys open,” Payton said. “Typically speaking, that has to happen efficiently on early downs.
