If there wasn’t already a backup quarterback controversy in Denver, there certainly is now.
During Saturday night’s preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings, second-year Bronco and former Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly threw a pair of touchdowns and was serenaded by chants of “Kel-ley, Kel-ley.” Paxton Lynch, the 2016 first-rounder battling Kelly for the No. 2 quarterback gig behind Case Keenum, threw for just 24 yards and was booed off the field.
Lynch, who led that Memphis upset over the Kelly-led Rebels in 2016, has been taking the second-team reps in training camp and entered Saturday’s game before Kelly.
