Top 5 reasons the Broncos failed in season opener vs. Seahawks
Denver Broncos lost 17-16 to Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football. The game ended on a bizarre 64-yard field goal attempt from Brandon McManus. There are many reasons why the Broncos failed to win the game. The team's defense played well in the second half.
Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett made some questionable decisions in the final moments of the game. On 4th-and-6 from the 47, he sent out the field goal unit instead of putting the ball in his $296 million quarterback's hand. The Broncos had moved the football for 433 yards of offense and almost seven yards per play. There have been 25 field goals made from 60-plus yards in Super Bowl era.
Hackett's decision to kick a 64-yard field goal from 64 yards instead of a 4th-and-6 was wrong.
