Renck says that while Ferris Bueller can skip school, the Broncos' loss to the Chargers shows that their star player Pat Surtain II cannot miss games.

Ferris Bueller may be able to skip a day of school, but Pat Surtain II cannot afford to miss a game. The Broncos learned this lesson the hard way, one week after their coach and quarterback joked around about a sideline incident that was compared to a character in a popular 1980s movie. It was a reminder of just how vulnerable the team is without their star player.

It all happened in the Broncos' game against the Chargers, when Surtain suffered a concussion while making a tackle on the first series. He was unable to return to the game and is expected to miss their upcoming game against the Saints as well. The Broncos struggled without Surtain, falling behind 20-0 in the first half and ultimately losing the game 23-16.

Losing Surtain felt like losing a key member of a band, or trying to drink without a straw. The Broncos were missing their star player and it showed. Cornerback Riley Moss admitted that it felt like a dark cloud was hanging over the team, and they struggled to rally and handle the adversity.

The game highlighted the stark difference between the Broncos' offense and defense, and how chaotic things can be without a star player. The Chargers dominated the Broncos, and even though the Broncos made a late comeback, it felt like too little too late against a prevent defense.

It's admirable that the team showed resilience, but it's not enough. The Broncos need to do better and not settle for just not giving up. The game also showed the importance of having a strong offense, as the Broncos' offense has been struggling since the beginning of the season.

In order to win, the Broncos need their star player to stay healthy and for the offense to improve. The game against the Chargers also highlighted the need for the coach to adapt and make changes when things aren't working. The Broncos have struggled in the early stages of their games, and it's something that needs to be addressed if they want to be a playoff team.

The Chargers' performance also showed that the Broncos have a long way to go and can't afford to become complacent. They need to have a sense of urgency and be more physical if they want to compete with top teams. This loss is a wake-up call for the Broncos and they need to bounce back quickly if they want to prove that they are a legitimate contender.

Overall, the game against the Chargers was a reality check for the Broncos. Losing Surtain and getting dominated by the Chargers showed that they still have a lot of work to do. They need to improve their offense and be better prepared for adversity if they want to succeed in the future. The Broncos have the potential to be a great team, but they need to work harder and not take anything for granted.
