The Broncos looked at wide receiver Jerry Jeudy many times in Sunday’s 19-16 loss to the Chargers, but they didn’t take much out of those moves.
Drew Lock aimed at Jeudy 15 times in the game and Jeudy had six receptions for 61 yards. The choice of the first round also had five takedowns, including what would have been a touchdown at the start of the game and one in the final possession of the game, while the Broncos tried to tie or win the game.
The bad exit came a few weeks after Jeudy complained about the lack of targets in a defeat for the Chiefs and continued a bad trend when it comes to Jeudy’s capture rate. He has been targeted 91 times this season and has managed just 41 passes.
“Sometimes falls happen,” said Jeudy, through Sean Keeler of Denver Post. “I see the ball coming in. I just dropped it. And I just need to focus on the next move. It happened many times. This is unacceptable. “
Broncos coach Vic Fangio said the game “could be a turning point” in Jeudy’s career and doing a better job of holding the ball will certainly top the list of things for wideout to work on in its second season .
