After Not Rushing Drew Lock, the Broncos’ Patience Is Paying Off

Drew Lock threw for 309 yards, three touchdowns and an interception against the Texans.

Coming into Sunday’s game against the Texans, the Broncos hadn’t scored more than 24 points since Oct. 19, 2018—a 45-10 win against the Cardinals on Thursday Night Football. That’s 416 days of the Denver team watching high-powered offenses run the NFL and searching for some consistent quarterback play.

But that all came to an end when QB Drew Lock and the Broncos stunned the AFC South-leading Texans with a 38-24 upset on Sunday, with 30 of those points scores in the first half alone.
