Drew Lock Throws 2 Touchdown Passes In Denver Broncos Preseason Opener
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (CBS4) - He hasn't been named the regular season's starting quarterback, but Drew Lock showed his coaches in the Denver Broncos preseason opener on Saturday afternoon that he's prepared if he gets that assignment.
Looks like Lock is done for the day - had exactly the type of game he needed to make his case:

Excellent protection gave Lock time to operate. His play-action execution was flawless. One play facing decent pressure & he made a good decision to scramble out of it.
He also benefitted from great protection from the offensive line.
Bridgewater also played well in his debut as a Bronco. He threw a touchdown pass in limited action before quarterback Brett Rypien was inserted into the game.
Teddy's day comes to a close.
