In the aftermath of the Broncos’ 17-13 loss Sunday in Las Vegas, coach Vic Fangio declined to sugarcoat his assessment of quarterback Drew Lock and the Denver offense.
“(Lock was) up-and-down,” Fangio said. “You get 158 yards of offense, and eight first downs, it’s hard to say anything good about the offense.”
In his first start of the 2021 season, Lock produced few highlights and nary a touchdown drive longer than a yard.
But in Lock’s view, his performance was a step forward individually, even if the defeat all but wiped out Denver’s playoff chances. Lock was 15-of-22 passing for 153 yards with no interceptions and a 87.
