The Denver Broncos had an impressive 27-7 preseason win over the Cardinals. Although both teams had their starters sit out, the Broncos’ defense was exceptional. The Cardinals (1-1) managed to convert only 2 of 13 third-down attempts. The spotlight stealer was Jarrett Stidham. He completed 16 of 23 passes for 240 yards and TDs of 27 and 17 yards to Troy Franklin before giving way to Sam Ehlinger in the second half.
“That was a pretty good half,” coach Sean Payton said at halftime. So, he must be satisfied with how the team performed, right? No, the coach had an issue with the pre-snap penalties. While speaking to the presser, the coach addressed these issues.
“There’s gonna be a lot of good things on the tape we like, and then that one area that has to get cleaned up with other penalties. And more importantly, the pre-snap penalties,” Payton summarized the game in his post-game conference.
