On the same day a report surfaced detailing discord behind the scenes, the Broncos went to Minneapolis and blew a 20-point halftime lead in a 27-23 loss to the Vikings. Ouch. The offense mustered just three points in the second half and couldn't crack the end zone on three pass attempts from close range in the final seconds, but this loss has to be hung on Vic Fangio's defense. In Denver's excellent first half, the Vikings were limited to just a single completion of more than 10 yards, but then Kirk Cousins picked the Broncos apart with four consecutive touchdown drives in the game's final 30 minutes. Denver was especially bedeviled by the play-action pass, used to expert effect on Cousins' final two touchdown passes. This is where we remind you that Mr. Play-Action, Gary Kubiak, is now on Mike Zimmer's staff in Minnesota. The Broncos knew it was coming ... and they were powerless to stop it.
