The Broncos have dealt with injuries virtually all season, and that didn’t change in their Week 12 outing against the Los Angeles Chargers. Dalton Risner, Calvin Anderson, Teddy Bridgewater, and Melvin Gordon all were banged up and had to be evaluated for injury in this game, with Anderson and Risner being downgraded to out later on.
Forced to step in after being elevated from the practice squad just before the game, Quinn Bailey replaced Anderson in the first quarter and filled in admirably. It was such a stellar performance that Bailey earned a game ball for his play, as he held his own in pass protection and helped open things up in the run game.
