The Broncos received minor contributions from several role players during Sunday's loss to the Patriots in Week 12.

Even with the absence of Julius Thomas, Broncos tight end Joel Dreessen was a non-factor as he was held without a catch despite being targeted once. Virgil Green got the start in place of Julius Thomas but failed to make much of an impact. Green had one catch for a gain of 6 yards.

In the running game, C.J. Anderson stepped up with three carries for 16 yards and was held without a catch despite being targeted once.
