Broncos QB Drew Lock’s development gained another step against Lions’ defense: Patience
Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (3) runs the ball during the third quarter of the game against the Lions on Sunday, Dec. 22, 2019 at Empower Field at Mile High. Each game, home or away, win or lose, is a new experience for Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock.
Exhibit D was Sunday’s 27-17 win over Detroit when Lock learned the value of patience.
Entering the game, the Broncos believed the Lions would play man-to-man coverage, allowing for Lock to probe down the field. Instead, the Lions played zone, which required a take-what-they-are-providing mindset shift for Lock.
