Demaryius Thomas has started slow during his first three games of the 2014 season.

"I know I can be better, I know I can play better, I know I can do things better than I've done them so far,'' Thomas said just before the Broncos adjourned for their bye weekend. "I haven't done the things I know I can do.''

Thomas has just 48, 62 and 31 yards in the first three games.

He has one touchdown catch, and what he called "the thing I have to fix'' is the most glaring number of all: his dropped-pass total. Thomas has already dropped four passes this season.

Thomas dropped just five balls in all of 2013.

"I just haven't been consistent, and it bothers me,'' Thomas said. "I think about it, I keep practicing hard, doing the things I need to do. I want to make it right.''
