Denver Broncos: Stock up, stock down after Vikings game

1. Drew Lock, QB

In his opportunity to start at the Minnesota Vikings, Drew Lock took full advantage. In just 7 pass attempts, Lock threw for 151 yards and 2 touchdowns, almost three.

On the opening drive of the game, Lock & Jerry Jeudy couldn’t connect on a 4th and 2 in the red zone. While they didn’t score here, it pushed the Vikings back into their own end zone. This forced a holding call in the endzone to gift the Denver Broncos two points and the ball back.

On the very next play, Lock bounced back dropping a marvelous post ball into the hands of KJ Hamler as he scored on an 80-yard reception. This ball had 58 yards of travel and was right on the money, Hamler was wide open, but Lock still did exactly what you would want to see from your starting quarterback.

When the Denver Broncos got the ball back, Lock was still the man at the helm. In a 10 play drive that went 85 yards, Lock showed poise with a 6 -yard run early on a first & 10. While it is only six yards, it was a good decision by Lock to tuck and go.

Then on a 3rd and 4, Lock would roll through his progressions and find Jeudy finding a hole in the zone, Jeudy would then pull his best Ricky Bobby and would eventually shake-and-bake for 33 yards. Jeudy really showed his abilities on this reception.

In the red zone, Lock would find the next Denver Broncos on this list, Trinity Benson, for a four-yard touchdown reception. Drew Lock looked like the Drew Lock that could halt this quarterback competition.
