DENVER -- When quarterback Drew Lock closed out his rookie season in 2019 with four wins over the Denver Broncos' final five games, his future, the team's future and its potential playoff outlook looked robust.
Fast forward through a pandemic, a turnover-plagued season as a starter in 2020 and four months of this regular season as Teddy Bridgewater's backup, and things look far different for Lock, who was one of the team's second-round draft picks in 2019. And they look far different for the Broncos, poised to miss the postseason for the sixth consecutive season barring some good fortune.
