Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon had a strong message for the Seattle Seahawks after Monday’s surprising upset, and he’ll patiently wait for that message to get delivered.
The Seahawks defeated the Broncos 17-16 after Denver’s controversial missed field goal attempt in the final seconds of Russell Wilson’s return to Lumen Field.

"We definitely beat ourselves," he said after the game, via the NFL Network. "We got in the red zone multiple times. Couldn't convert. Don't mind going for it on fourth.
