When the Broncos’ offense and San Francisco’s defense brawled Saturday morning during their second joint practice, rookie quarterback Drew Lock chose discretion over valor.
“I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m a peacemaker, but I pick my fights wisely,” Lock said with a laugh.
Lock and the rest of the Broncos offense would be wise to take the fight to the 49ers in Monday night’s preseason game (6 p.m.). After a woeful Friday performance, the offense responded with action (more good plays) and words (out-chirping the chirpy 49ers).
A carry-over for Lock will allow him to take another step toward being Joe Flacco’s backup on Sept.
