“Day by day”: Inside Courtland Sutton’s slow start to the Denver Broncos’ season

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has experienced a notably slow start in his ninth NFL season. Through five games heading into a Thursday matchup against Seattle, Sutton has recorded just 11 receptions for 104 yards and one touchdown. He has not caught more than three passes or achieved 50 receiving yards in any single contest this season.

The early-season numbers mark the lowest output of Sutton's career through five games, falling below his rookie-year total of 160 yards. This drop follows consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, including 74 catches for 1,017 yards and seven touchdowns in the previous campaign. Offensive coordinator Davis Webb acknowledged Sutton's frustration, noting the team needs him to make plays.
