Kiszla: How much longer can little Phillip Lindsay cover for Broncos’ big offensive problems?

It’s no longer a question of if Phillip Lindsay is the Broncos’ best offensive player, but when he will be elected mayor of Denver.

The Broncos could not be 2-0 without Lindsay, the mightiest mite in the NFL.

But, at 5-foot-8, is Lindsay big enough to carry Denver to the playoffs?

Nope.

At a salary of $485,000, no NFL player is providing more bang for the buck than Lindsay, whose 178 yards rushing ranks third in the league.

But with quarterback Case Keenum and receiver Demaryius Thomas playing football that’s meh at best, can Lindsay be counted on to cover for $27 million of under-performing assets in the Denver huddle?
