What happened: Denver closed with 14 to San Francisco's 24 in a game that went final. Orlovsky questioned why Nix did not let those throws go.

Why it matters: Unattempted throws leave production on the field and stall drives. Correcting the read-and-throw timing decides whether Denver's offense opens up.

What to watch: Whether Nix attempts those throws early in the next game bears watching. Denver's opening scripts will show if the correction sticks.
