Mina Kimes said it herself from the Rams broadcast booth on Saturday night: Corey Bojorquez couldn’t have asked for a better situation this week than punting in Mile High Stadium.
Despite Sean McVay insisting earlier in the year that there was no punter competition after signing Bojorquez as a designated “P2”, his dominant performance against the Denver Broncos has done enough to guarantee that he’ll be playing for somebody in Week 1.
With both Bojorquez and Johnny Hekker out in the previous preseason game, and Hekker remaining on the COVID-19 reserve list as of Saturday, the second-year punter who led the NFL in punt yardage average struck several long kicks, including a 70-yarder that went out of bounds at the 1.
