Broncos game balls: Titans kicker Stephen Gostkowski was nearly Denver’s MVP, until he wasn’t

Stephen Gostkows­ki, Titans K: Think about your worst day at the office, then mul­ti­ply that by about 1,000. That’s what Mon­day night was look­ing like for Gostkows­ki before the Titans’ final dri­ve of the game. The for­mer Pro Bowler’s line at that point? Three field goal attempts, three miss­es — and a shanked extra-point that was the dif­fer­ence in a 14–13 affair. But hand it to the 36-year-old vet­er­an: With the game hang­ing in the bal­ance and the ball at the Den­ver 7‑yard line with 20 sec­onds left, Gostkows­ki split the uprights with the game-win­ner. Sweet redemp­tion. And pos­si­bly even con­tin­ued employment.

Jere­mi­ah Attaochu, Bron­cos OLB: Start­ing in place of the injured Von Miller, Attaochu did his best impres­sion of the Von­ster in the first half. It start­ed with the sev­en-year vet pres­sur­ing Titans quar­ter­back Ryan Tan­nehill into an incom­ple­tion on his first drop back of the game, and end­ed with him sack­ing Tan­nehill as the Titans were dri­ving at the close of the sec­ond quar­ter. Two plays lat­er, a blocked field goal attempt kept the game tied at 7 going into the break. Unfor­tu­nate­ly for the Bron­cos, Attaochu’s was the only sack of the game.

Josey Jew­ell, Bron­cos MLB: Oh, my, how about that hit Jew­ell put on Der­rick Hen­ry at mid­field in the third quar­ter? Maybe the Bron­cos don’t need Todd Davis after all. The Dec­o­rah, Iowa, native is com­ing off a rough 2019 that saw him slip out of the start­ing line­up as Alexan­der John­son emerged at mid­dle line­backer. Con­sid­er Mon­day night’s eight-tack­le night against one of the NFL’s tough­est run­ning backs a sol­id open­ing salvo.

Noah Fant, Bron­cos TE: No Court­land Sut­ton? No prob­lem — at least in the first half. With his Pro Bowl receiv­er out with a shoul­der injury, quar­ter­back Drew Lock turned to fel­low 2019 draftee Fant to estab­lish the pass­ing game ear­ly. The Iowa prod­uct start­ed with three catch­es for 34 yards, includ­ing a 9‑yard touch­down grab that gave Den­ver an ear­ly 7–0 lead, in the first quar­ter, then tacked on two more recep­tions for 47 yards in the sec­ond quar­ter. If only that pro­duc­tion would’ve con­tin­ued in the sec­ond half: Fant was only tar­get­ed once in the first two quarters.

Sam Mar­tin, Bron­cos P: The Bron­cos free-agent addi­tion to spe­cial teams made a fan­tas­tic first impres­sion in his Bron­cos debut at Mile High. Three times, the 30-year-old vet­er­an pinned the Titans inside their own 20 with his fine­ly tuned direc­tion­al punt­ing skills. That includ­ed a pair of punts in the fourth quar­ter that forced the Titans to start dri­ves at their 4- and 10-yard lines, respec­tive­ly. Mar­tin aver­aged 46.4 yards on five punts over­all, includ­ing a 56-yarder in the third quarter.
