ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos have a decision to make in the coming weeks: Let Brandon Allen simply play out the season at quarterback or try out rookie Drew Lock.
Allen, who at age 27 got his first NFL start during a Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns, will start again Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Lock, the Broncos' second-round pick in April, practiced for the first time Tuesday since Aug. 17 and could probably benefit from an audition at some point this season.
Asked Wednesday whether his priority was to win games or develop a quarterback with the team sitting at 3-6, first-year coach Vic Fangio hedged.
