If Garett Bolles is the best player on the Broncos’ offense, Phillip Lindsay is the engine.
It speaks to where Drew Lock is currently at in his development that my biggest complaint about Pat Shurmur’s Kansas City game is that he needs to ride the ground game more. Even in bad situations. I say this even as the Broncos rank near the bottom of the league in pass rate on 2nd and long.
In and of itself, this is bad.
Stepping back a little bit: it'd be telling to look at Shurmur's 2nd and long run rate from previous years because he may be trying to protect struggling quarterbacks this year.
