Washington’s first possession of the second half Sunday lasted just five plays, but it showed a bit of several different problems the Broncos defense has encountered early on this season.When quarterback Sam Howell had nowhere to go with the ball on third-and-10, Randy Gregory flashed up the middle but couldn’t get home.

From the left hash, Washington’s offensive line washed both of Denver’s down defensive linemen plus Gregory past the right hash mark by the time Robinson scampered by and dragged Jos...
