Apparently against Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio's wishes, the team's starting quarterback Thursday will be Brett Rypien—not his uncle, Super Bowl XXVI MVP Mark.
In a press conference Tuesday, Fangio accidentally said Mark Rypien would get the nod against the New York Jets before he corrected himself (h/t Pro Football Talk).
With Drew Lock injured, it's Brett, who was undrafted out of Boise State in 2019 and spent the season on the practice squad, who will be given the ball as the 0-3 Broncos seek their first win of the season against a winless Jets team.
