Usually, Quinn Meinerz is the one making the pancakes. Not the one at their mercy. And yet, in another Broncos’ drive against the Chargers on Sunday that stalled out before it really even began, the All-Pro right guard found himself on his backside against the rush.

On a 1st-and-10 at the Chargers’ 20-yard-line, Los Angeles defensive tackle Teair Tart got a nice jump off the line. The Broncos’ protection plan on the play — center Alex Forsyth pulling to the edge — was a step late, and Meinerz got tangled up with Forsyth as he kicked over to check Tart.
