HC Nathaniel Hackett knows Broncos are a ‘better football team’ than they showed vs. Panthers


ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — As Denver looks to reset from its largest loss of the season, Head Coach Nathaniel Hackett said the Broncos are better than what they showed in their performance on Sunday.

The Broncos fell 23-10 to the struggling Panthers, and Hackett said the Broncos must improve at all levels as they turn toward a road game against the Ravens.

We can’t play the way that we played yesterday and expect to win a football game. It starts with me from the practice preparation [and] everything that we do. I’m the most frustrated.
