The ending of Sunday’s Broncos’ game is one in which many fans would like to forget. But defensive tackle Shelby Harris’ performance was one that’s unforgettable.

Harris became just the seventh player in a Denver uniform to record three sacks and a forced fumble since the NFL kept track of the statistics.

In total, the feat has been accomplished 10 times in team history. Von Miller has done it three times — forcing two fumbles on two separate occasions — and Elvis Dumervil has done it twice.

The Broncos are 8-2 when a defensive player has these numbers. Here’s a look at the Broncos who are in this exclusive club:

Parting Shot

The Broncos have become masters of the two-hankie weepy. They are good guys, but always lose in the end, often in a way so sad it should be accompanied by the soundtrack to “Titanic.”

Haven’t we already seen this movie before in 2019, Broncos Country? Like two or three times? Read more…
