The Broncos often look like Jerry Jeudy’s receiver in Sunday’s 19-16 loss to the Chargers, but they didn’t get much out of the throw.
Drew Lock targeted Jeudy 15 times in the game and Jeudy had 61 catches. The pick in the first round also had five drops, including what would have been an attack early in the game and one in the final possession of the game as the Broncos tried to level or win the game.
The bad outing took place a few weeks after Jeudy complained about a lack of targets in a loss to the Chiefs and continued a bad trend in terms of Jeudy’s catch. He has been targeted 91 times this season and caught just 41 passes.
“Sometimes drops fall,” Jeudy said, via Sean Keeler of the Denver Post. “I watch the ball come in. I just dropped it. And I just have to focus on the next play. It just happened too many times. This is unacceptable. ”
Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said the game could be “a decisive moment” in Jeudy’s career and that he could do a better job of holding the ball, would definitely be at the top of the list for things the broad team can work on to move on to its second season. .
