Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has thrown five interceptions in his last three games, and many fans have started calling for Drew Lock to take over on offense.

Broncos coach Vic Fangio is not ready to bench Bridgewater yet, though.

“Obviously, he didn’t finish the Baltimore game,” Fangio said Friday. “[He] got banged around last week and was a little hobbled this week. I thought he put together a courageous effort and was out there playing. I still see the same player. We just have to play better as a team, and then everybody’s performance will look a little better.

“If we can get off the field quicker on defense, we give the offense more opportunities. If we can convert some third downs, we get more opportunities that offense. If we can run it and throw it better on the early downs, we get more opportunities. It’s a team-wide issue right now, and once we can rectify some of that, everybody else’s performance will look better.”

That’s a fair point to make, and the team’s offense probably wouldn’t look any better if Lock was playing behind a struggling offensive line with questionable play calling. Fangio’s stance is reasonable, but that might not matter if the team doesn’t start getting results soon.

Even if Bridgewater isn’t the main problem, he — and Fangio — will likely have their jobs on the line in the coming weeks.
