Top Storylines

Can Drew Lock bounce back after first loss?

Drew Lock’s homecoming in Kansas City was a rough one. It was not a terrible performance, but you could definitely tell Lock was a rookie in that game. But that is okay. Because that is how he is going to learn. The biggest question is how will he respond to the loss?

He will get a chance to test that when he goes up against the Detroit Lions. One thing that I will tackle in the key matchups is how he will fare against the Detroit Lions secondary. Spoiler alert, is is looking good.

If he comes out of this game the same way he performed against the Houston Texans, then it shows that he bounced back in a big way.

Kareem Jackson suspended for final two games

As a result of his DUI arrest back in September, the Denver Broncos will be without standout safety Kareem Jackson for the final two games of the 2019 season. While this is tough for Broncos Country, it will allow him to re-focus and get healthy for 2020.

I truly believe as long as he can do that and stay out of legal trouble, he can play a huge part in the Broncos defense. Especially with a secondary that has done so well this season despite a few shortcomings here and there.
