The results were on the field for the Denver Broncos offense in Thursday night's 17-14 Week 6 overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks. If the Broncos keep playing like this, those results could end up in the loss column.
Part of the problem with what's been the NFL's most confounding offense so far this season has been starting center Luke Wattenberg's play, which he showed before a national audience against the Seahawks.

Fans and pundits alike were calling for Wattenberg, 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds, to lose his starting spot after the win over Seattle.
Wattenberg signed a 4-year, $48 million contract extension in November 2025.
"Luke Wattenberg has had issues with his snaps ever since being the starter for the Broncos and it finally bites them on this drive," Sleeper Broncos wrote on its official X account on Thursday night. "Second down play was an atrocious snap and basically killed the drive It can't continue like this."
"I am once again begging the Broncos to replace Luke Wattenberg," Mile High Huddle's Zack Kelberman wrote on his official X account.
