Poor second halves after fast starts have doomed Broncos' offense during 0-2 start

The Denver Broncos have failed to follow up strong starts with solid second halves in their two losses to open the season.

Even more night and day are Wilson’s numbers: In the first half, he’s completed 23 of 27 passes for 177 yards with two touchdowns, no interceptions and two sacks. In the second half, he has completed 18 of 32 passes for 308 yards with one touchdown , one interception and seven sacks.

That’s a passing clip of 63% from a team that sports two 230-plus-pound running backs in Samaje Perine and Javonte Williams and a speedster in undrafted rookie Jaleel McLaughlin, who led the league with four preseason touchdowns and scored untouched from 5 yards out on his only carry Sunday. Denver’s defense shares the blame for its slow start. The Broncos lead the league with 19 accepted penalties against them, and a dozen of those are defensive, including seven on third or fourth down.

Last week, the Broncos took a 21-14 lead into the break and began the second half with a three-and-out.
