His passer rating was a stellar 158.3, well above and beyond what either of the two vying for the starting QB spot showed.

Combined, Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch threw for 93 yards on 16 pass attempts. Neither threw a touchdown. And neither led another drive that got the Broncos a score.

Lynch: 18 plays 6-9 42 yards; 4 rushes for 11 yards
Neither was very impressive#4Broncos
Instead, there were a lot of three-and-outs.
So, should Sloter get a shot at being the starting quarterback for the Broncos?
Following Thursday night's 24-17 come-from-behind victory against the Bears, Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said no.

Instead, Joseph said after the game that "it's an ongoing battle" between Lynch and Siemian as to who will be the starter.
Neither helped nor hurt their chances of earning the position.
