The Saints came into today chasing the number one seed in the NFC. The Broncos came into it without their top four quarterbacks thanks to exposure to Covid-19. Thanks to the late news about ineligible quarterbacks, there was no way to bring in any outside help because of Covid-19 protocols. At one point the coaching staff asked the NFL if Justin Rascati or Rob Calabrese could play quarterback in the game. Their request was declined.
Backed into a corner and unable to forfeit, the Broncos called up Kendall Hinton to play quarterback for the first time since his freshman year of college.
