They Went To Jarrett. Broncos' Stidham stars in preseason finale. Mims, Okwuegbunam impressive in first half
DENVER – Walking the pathway around Empower Field Saturday night, toward the horse statues and player monuments, the optimism is palpable. The final preseason game offers a chance for many fans who don’t have season tickets to see the Broncos in person.
With the starters watching, the reserves led by quarterback Jarrett Stidham were running on nitromethane, racing to a 27-0 first-half lead against the Los Angeles Rams. Stidham, signed minutes into free agency to serve as Russell Wilson’s backup, followed with toughness and accuracy rarely seen or needed in an exhibition game. He absorbed a hit to his ribcage as he floated a deep ball to Mims for 50 yards. It was originally ruled a 75-yard touchdown, but reversed after replayed showed contact when he was on the ground. Brett Maher, hoping to survive the roster cutdown from competition around the league, nailed a 46-yarder, shoving Denver ahead 10-0.
Only twice last season did the Broncos score more than 27 points. It was backups vs. backups on this night, but when you are trying to change the culture this type of proficiency matters to Payton. Defensively, Bassey and linebacker Drew Sanders intercepted Stetson Bennett. Sanders nearly spoiled his when the quarterback stripped him 32 yards down field. The Broncos recovered. The Broncos scoring included a pair of field goals from Maher of 46 and 33 yards, giving him a stronger argument to stick even as the team will scour the waiver wire over the next three to four days. It allowed the Broncos to build a lead that was safe sans usage of the Rockies bullpen.
