Is the Denver Broncos’ young offense finally starting to click?

2. Drew Lock found his trust in his teammates

Through the first half of Sunday’s matchup, Drew Lock looked overwhelmed and had no trust in his offensive line’s protection. In the second half, his line stepped up, but Lock also found his trust in the offensive line.

Lock has often said that he feels just as comfortable, if not more, outside of the pocket. On Sunday, the Chargers made Lock rethink that statement.

The Chargers keyed in on Lock’s mobility and tracked him step-for-step when he left the pocket. Drew frequently scrambled for no gain, or even a loss of yards when rolling out. Lock’s inability to create outside of the pocket led to a frustrating first half for the Denver Broncos.

In the second half, Lock looked like a different player altogether. He did not bail from clean pockets, instead of setting his feet and throwing with anticipation and accuracy.

Lock found success by staying in the pocket and was a huge reason why the Broncos were able to win on Sunday.

Lock’s trust also extended to his receivers. Lock’s touchdown pass to Albert Okwuegbunam showed the trust that was built at the University of Missouri and was a turning point in the Broncos’ victory over the Chargers.

Lock trusting his playmakers, as well as his offensive line, was a huge reason for the Broncos’ offensive success on Sunday. Lock will have to continue to build chemistry with the young team if the Denver Broncos want to make some noise in the AFC.
