(CBS4) – The Denver Broncos didn’t look sharp in their season opener, dropping a 16-14 slug-fest to the Tennessee Titans. A last-second Stephen Gostkowski field goal gave the Titans the win. Though had the usually reliable kicker made his previous four kicks, the game may not have been so close.

The Broncos had their own what-if scenario which could have turned the tide of the game. On fourth-and-goal in the second quarter, Vic Fangio went for it, only to have Drew Lock’s shovel pass to Jake Butt stuffed at the goal line. Of course, had the Broncos executed in the second half, this play may have been a moot point too.

It wasn’t a pretty game, but a little more ball control would’ve helped Denver come out on top. Aside from a 75-yard drive, the Broncos picked up one first down in the second half. With four minutes remaining, they had the ball in Tennessee territory, only to go three-and-out and hand the ball back after minute.
