If you’ve resorted to conspiracy theories to defend your quarterback, he’s not a starting NFL quarterback.
But sure. Go on. Tell yourself Broncos coach Vic Fangio went over to Austin Scholttmann at halftime and secretly ordered him to step on Drew Lock’s foot.
Just like he directed Damarea Crockett, Lock’s college teammate at Missouri, to muff the exchange on 3rd-and-2 at the Seattle 6.
Just like he made Pat Shurmur shelve the sexy play-action stuff whenever Lock went into the game late Saturday night.
Honestly, people. Has it come to this?
Are we so married to Team Drew or Team Teddy, after two preseason routs, that we’re putting on tinfoil hats and pointing fingers?
