In their first two possessions against the Minnesota Vikings they were forced to punt twice.

Some of the troubles included a drop of a catch on third down by Royce Freeman and a false start penalty called on new Broncos offensive lineman Jared Veldheer.

New quarterback Case Keenum was taken out of the game after the first two possessions and was replaced by backup quarterback Paxton Lynch. Keenum went 1 for 4 for 5 yards in the little action he saw.
