It was already tough to breathe in the thin Rocky Mountain air without suffering a panic attack over your underperforming $245-million investment. But anxiety levels are “Mile High” for a Week 3 Sunday Night Football showdown between the so-far unimpressive Denver Broncos and the San Francisco 49ers.
Russell Wilson — the man behind those millions — and the Broncos have fallen short of expectations in the opening two weeks of play. The offense has mustered a total of just 32 points, and new head coach Nathanial Hackett looks like he’d have a tough time following the recipe for “Shake ‘N Bake,” let alone running a professional football team.
Stock is down on Denver, which has forced a notable line move for this non-conference clash — a move that might not be warranted if you dig a little deeper.
