The backup did a nice job Sunday, minus an interception on which he thought he had a free play right as the third quarter ended.
Otherwise, Rypien didn’t put the ball in harm’s way and used the quick passing game to his advantage. When the Cardinals played soft, he took easy yardage outside. For the most part, he played with anticipation, particularly on out-breaking routes to Brandon Johnson and Jerry Jeudy. And he responded after the interception by leading the Broncos on a 56-yard touchdown drive that put them up 17-9 with 11 minutes remaining.
RB Latavius Murray
The 32-year-old back has been a steadying force in the Broncos backfield since he arrived off of New Orleans’ practice squad in Week 5 after Javonte Williams’ season-ending injury.
