QB FA
Kyle Orton completed 24-of-46 passes for 304 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Broncos' Week 1 loss to Oakland, 23-20.
There were stretches late in this game where Denver fans were chanting Tim Tebow's name, but Orton responded with a 12 play, 80 yard drive capped off by a 8-yard touchdown pass to Lance Ball to pull Denver within three, though it was ultimately not enough. Still, there was a reason why fans wanted Tebow. Orton was widely inaccurate throughout the contest, though his offensive line did little to help (he took four sacks). He's a low-end QB2 in Week 2.
