They had 1 pass completion today. ONE! And 2 interceptions.

I was at work today so I couldn't really follow the games, but yikes, I didn't know things ended up being that bad for the Broncos defense. I did just read the stats and a little about what happened in their game today. Also, prior to today's game I did see the news about all of their QB"s being in isolating because none of them were wearing masks around another teammate (who I believe was the fourth QB Jeff Driskel who was put on the COVID list.) It sounds like the young player Kendall Hinton was a practice squad WR. He really was thrown into the fire. I also read that the team even thought of trying to start a staff member at QB, but the NFL nixed that idea. They didn't want coaching staffs to become a pool of candidates for QBs.

I guess next time the QB's will wear their masks when they are supposed to. I know it can be a chore, but they do have to follow the rules if they want to play and keep their team and the season going.

That's not true, it was that the league requires a 5-day wait period from signing to being with the team thanks to COVID. They didn't know about the vacuum at the position until it was too late. From what I read, he ran the scout team reps for the D during practice once the QBs were shelved.

Just a fun tidbit I read when the news broke, they even tried to delay the game until Tues and I don't even know if that would have been enough time. Kinda wonder if a forfeit would have been a worthwhile choice there, though Goodell might have had some issues with that option. Hopefully nobody was hurt in that "game".
