Denver faced fourth-and-1 from the 5-yard-line in overtime and elected

to go for it and throw instead of kick a field goal.

Hamler got wide open on the slant to Russell Wilson's right side,

he QB never looked his way, ultimately forcing a throw to Courtland Sutton against Stephon Gilmore that fell incomplete.

"I could have walked in," a frustrated Hamler told NFL Network's James Palmer after the game.

The play epitomized a Broncos offense that can't get out of its own way

has been particularly dreadful in the red zone through five games -- 0-of-4 Thursday night.

"We went down the field quickly (in overtime)," Hamler said, via the Denver Post.

"We get into the red zone, into that 'gold zone,' we've just got to learn how to keep pushing and how to finish.

We can't keep coming up empty down there

We're capable of scoring 40 points (a game), especially with the quarterback we have."
