The Denver Broncos have lost four games in a row with Teddy Bridgewater
As it turns out, the Denver Broncos were the epitome of fool’s gold. Though they have gotten off to hot starts in September in recent years, sub-par quarterbacking play is almost always their undoing. In a game where they should have had a quarterbacking advantage, the Broncos lost a bad one to the beat-up Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football. Teddy Bridgewater is not it.
It was only Week 7, but Bridgewater has already hit his limited ceiling leading the Broncos offense. He completed 23-of-33 passes for 187 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. While Bridgewater had nothing to do with the Broncos’ bad run defense trying to contain D’Ernest Johnson, he should have been able to do more to defeat his former teammate Case Keenum.
Riding a four-game skid, the Broncos have no choice but to see what Drew Lock has going forward. They are quickly becoming the worst team in the deep AFC West. While everybody and their brother expects for new general manager George Paton to clean house at the end of the season, the Broncos need to figure out what they have in Lock before they run out of runway.
Denver can always go back to Bridgewater, but he is not taking the Broncos to the AFC playoffs.
