I don't have time to a full review but I wanted to make a few comments.
Lewis was not really bad. He was better than Carroll. He slipped and gave up a short TD. He might have been responsible on another TD but that one was a clever play design that might have fooled a veteran. They had 2 TEs on one side and were inside the 5 yard line. The TE to the inside did a 180 into the backfield and then went out in the flat. It's possible that the Safey was supposed to cover it. Other than that he gave up a couple of short passes and tackled better than many other players. I call his INT and slipping on a TD a break even. That primarily leaves the other TD play which might or might not have been his responsibility.
Byron Jones was not that bad either. It was either him or Lewis, not both, on the TD described above. Otherwise he had play where he was glued to the TE when the RB ran by. He seemed to lose sight of the RB. A couple of other plays could have been better but nothing overwhelmingly bad.
The Broncos had 78 plays on offense. If player only had a 3 to 5 negative plays on defense that's not bad.
Woods the Safety played his first NFL snaps at slot CB. He was decent.
The biggest problem was stopping the run and short passes. Both Led and Jaylon were a bit off.
CB Brown played way off and gave up many short passes. That's more scheme than player.
The DL got some pressure but struggled against the run.
Heath was OK. Not great, not terrible.
