Kendall Hinton, Broncos Lose to Saints Without Any Eligible QBs Available

The has made it much easier for offenses to thrive in recent years, but you still need a proper quarterback.

The New Orleans Saints defeated the Denver Broncos 31-3 on the road Sunday in Denver.

The Broncos were without a single recognized QB due to the terms of the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. They placed Jeff Driskel on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, and the trio of Drew Lock, Blake Bortles and Brett Rypien were deemed to be close contacts Saturday.

That meant wide receiver Kendall Hinton, who spent limited time at quarterback for Wake Forest, was promoted from the practice squad and started under center against New Orleans.
