GLENDALE, Ariz. – Sean Payton hadn’t seen enough of his starting offense just yet.Or maybe he hadn’t seen enough from them.After 14 snaps of inconsistent work Friday night, the Broncos coach sent Russell Wilson and company back onto the State Farm Stadium turf for a fourth series. Maybe a different start would have prompted Payton to put his No. 2 unit in on the front end of his estimated 15-18-snap range for the first-team offense. But not on this night.Eventually, Wilson and company found some rhythm.Wilson capped his first preseason game since 2019 with a 21-yard touchdown pass on a slant to Jerry Jeudy that came on fourth-and-4, one play after Jeudy dropped an easy first down completion along the sideline.That sequence might be the best microcosm of the Broncos’ starters 20 snaps worth of offensive work.Wilson’s numbers didn’t look bad in the end – 7-of-13 passing for 93 yards and a touchdown, good for a 102.4 quarterback rating.All the same, Wilson was fortunate to get a fumble...
