Denver Broncos stock report after loss to Atlanta Falcons.

The Denver Broncos would put up a fight in the fourth quarter against the Atlanta Falcons, but it was too little, too late.

The Falcons held a commanding 27-6 lead at the end of the third quarter, and much like last week’s miracle win over the Chargers, the Broncos rolled off an impressive 21 points in the fourth quarter.

This time, it simply wasn’t enough.

The Broncos would have one last opportunity to tie the game up as the time ticked down, but the ball would be turned over, and the Falcons would improve to 3-6, while the Broncos fell to 3-5.

Although a game against an NFC opponent, of course, does not carry the same weight as a conference or divisional opponent, every game is a must-win for the Broncos at this point, and they needed this one.

This was simply not a good performance going into Raider week.

Let’s get into this week’s stock report.
