Often when offenses perform poorly, people start pointing fingers at the quarterback. In this case, the passer was the least of the offense’s problems.
Jeff Driskel’s first career start went pretty well considering a lot of things didn’t go his way. All things considered, a 25 for 37 game with 236 yards and a touchdown is pretty good for the backup quarterback’s first start. Pretty much nothing went Driskel’s way, from A.J. Green’s injury to Phillip Lindsay’s career day.
There were a lot of things that went wrong against the Broncos and a few that went right.
