These Jaylen Waddle numbers will have Broncos fans pulling their hair out

The numbers for Jaylen Waddle have left Denver Broncos fans feeling quite frustrated. Apart from a standout performance in Week 2, Waddle's play has been a cause for concern over the course of his first season with the Broncos. After spending five years with the Miami Dolphins, Waddle made his move to Denver during the offseason.

So far, he hasn't been able to replicate the form he showcased in his opening game. In fact, aside from that impressive Week 2 outing where he nabbed eight passes for 138 yards, Waddle has struggled in the subsequent five contests. ESPN reporter Ari Meirov noted, "Outside of that game… 5 games. 14 catches. 90 receiving yards. 1 TD.

Long of 13 yards." Despite the struggles, the Broncos managed to secure a hard-fought 17-14 victory against the Seattle Seahawks in overtime on Thursday night. The game was primarily dominated by Denver's defense as they led 14-3 at halftime. However, Seattle managed to rally back with 11 points in the fourth quarter, forcing overtime.

Seattle's attempt to mount a comeback ultimately fell short when they were unable to score on their drive. The Broncos' Bo Nix had a less than stellar performance, completing only 17 of his 27 passes for 107 yards. Meanwhile, running back JK Dobbins contributed with 17 carries for 41 yards and a touchdown, along with three receptions for five yards.

Running back RJ Harvey added 25 yards and a touchdown on six rushes, and also contributed on three receptions for 31 yards. The Broncos will be looking to bounce back in their next game, a road matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on October 25 at 4:05 p.m. ET.
