As nice because the day used to be for the Miami Dolphins, it used to be simply as dangerous for the Denver Broncos. The Dolphins scored essentially the most issues in a sport in 57 years, beating the Broncos 70 (sure 70) to 20.
For the shedding facet, the disappointment used to be palpable within the locker room and at the rostrum. There is no wonder that the Broncos weren’t satisfied after the defeat.
Head trainer Sean Payton didn’t have many answers following the blowout, excluding to be aware how embarrassing all of it used to be.
“Obviously that was embarrassing … I’m at a loss for words,” Payton mentioned. “Every as soon as in a whilst within the NFL you get your butt kicked, however this used to be other.”
When a reporter informed Payton how ancient the loss used to be, the pinnacle trainer, obviously frustrated, mentioned, “I’m aware,” questioning what query the reporter used to be attempting to ask.
You may just really feel the stress coming from the pinnacle trainer as he repeated, “What’s the question.”
The Dolphins had 726 yards, the second-most and their 70 issues had been the third-most in league historical past. The issues and general yards general had been essentially the most ever given up via Denver in franchise historical past.
“It’d be one thing to say we’re going to get on to the next game,” Payton mentioned (by means of ESPN). “We have to watch that tape. [Monday] will be tough for a lot of players, tough for us as coaches.”
Other gamers chimed in to touch upon simply how embarrassed they felt to be at the shedding finish of such a lopsided sport.
“That’s the most embarrassing game I’ve ever been a part of,” Broncos within linebacker Alex Singleton mentioned (by means of Thee Denver Post) “It’s the most embarrassing game I’ve ever watched. We’ve got to figure it out. Thank god it’s only one. But we can’t make it more.”
Broncos protection Kareem Jackson mentioned, “It definitely feels bigger than one game. Any time you lose the way we lost [Sunday], s— is embarrassing. Absolutely embarrassing. Like I said, we didn’t do anything we put in place.”
And longtime Broncos OT Garett Boles did not mince phrases when requested how he felt.
