A Denverbroncos.com article earlier in the year talked about how the Broncos were spending "more than half" their QB Camp workouts working on red zone situations.
So there is absolutely no excuse for the Broncos complete and utter inability to score inside the redzone today.
Failure #1: 7:31 left in the second quarter. Denver has a First and Goal on the three yard line. Mike Shanahan runs the ball between the tackles with Tatum Bell for no gain. Second and Goal on the Miami three yard line, Mike Shanahan runs the ball between the tackles again with Tatum Bell for no gain. Two third and goal tries are incomplete passes. With the Broncos down by six points with half the second quarter remaining Mike Shanhaan decides to go for it on fourth down instead of taking the sure three points. What does he decide to do? Why of course he rushes between the tackles with Tatum Bell for no gain.
Failure #2:At the end of the second quarter Denver had a First and Ten on the Miami fifteen yard line and had to come away with a fieldgoal. With a chance to take the lead at halftime the Broncos stall on a third and four and have to settle for a fieldgoal.
Failure barely averted: In the fourth quarter the Broncos have the ball First and Goal on the one yard line and Shanahan decides to run with Tatum Bell between the tackles again. It takes the Broncos four plays to gain one yard for a late game touchdown.
