Broncos pass rush remains ineffective in loss to Las Vegas Raiders

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:27:45 GMT

Sometimes old habits die hard.That was true for the Broncos’ pass rush against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon.With the opportunity to start the season on the right foot, Denver struggled to generate pressure on quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo — continuing a run of poor production that dates back to the trade of Bradley Chubb to Miami after Week 8 last season.The Raiders faced third-and-7 with a one-point lead and two minutes left in regulation when Denver blitzed six defenders. But as had been the case all game, the pass rush failed to get home. Instead, Garoppolo stepped up in the pocket and scrambled eight yards for a first down, solidifying a 17-16 victory on Sunday.The Broncos finished the game with zero sacks and only three quarterback hits.“I do not feel like (Garoppolo) dropped back much early on,” outside linebacker Randy Gregory said. “I know for me that probably messed me up a little bit. As a pass rusher, you would like to get more opportunities for one-on-one rush...
