In case you forgot, the Broncos tended to sleepwalk through the beginning of games, both on offense and on defense in 2016. The defense was particularly bad in the opening drive for the opponent (at least in the first half of the year)

Note that in the first half of the season, our defense gave up a score on the opponent’s opening drive six times in eight games. This improved in the second half of the season as we only allowed scores on three opening drives in the final eight games. So overall the D allowed scores on 9 out of 16 opening drives. That doesn’t sound too bad until you put in into context. It was one of the worst opening drives scoring% values in the league for a defense in 2016.

The Texans and Ravens allowed scores on 3 of 16 opening drives. Additionally both of those teams forced three turnovers on their opponents opening drives. We forced one. In fact if you add the punts forced and the turnovers forced, four defenses got the ball back from the other team on 12 of 16 drives - 75% of the time - Houston, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Jacksonville. The score% that the Broncos allowed on opening drives - 56.3% - tied for 31st - is even more interesting if you look at the drives allowed the rest of the game by the Broncos D in 2016.
Our defense faced 189 drives in 2016, 58 of which ended in scores (30.7%). So if we pull out the nine scores on the 16 opening drives, we find the after the opening drive, our defense allowed scores on 28.3% of drives. That would have moved us from 5th in the league in score% allowed up to 2nd.

This first drive ineptitude by the defense was magnified by the first drive ineptitude of our offense. Offensively we only scored on four of 16 opening drives. That was tied for 29th in the league with two other teams. Keep in mind that one of those opening drive scores was the one-play TD drive against TB following the interception. We didn’t score our first TRUE opening drive TD until the Saints game - the 10th game of the season.

The numbers don’t lie. Both our offense and our defense were poor on their opening drive in 2016. The key difference is that while our defense generally rebounded and play well after that, our offense, for the most part didn’t. The defense was one of the worst in the league on the opening drive in terms of score%, but then became one of the best in the league after the opening opponent’s drive. The offense was one of the worst in the league on their opening drive, but they only improved marginally in the rest of the game. Overall our offense had a score% of 31.7% for 2016 - 25th in the league.
