Enjoys sterling passing day Lock completed 21 of 27 pass attempts for 280 yards and four touchdowns, adding four yards over six carries while losing a fumble during Sunday's 32-27 win against Carolina. Impact Lock's second-quarter fumble led to a Panthers TD two plays later, but he otherwise enjoyed his most impressive statistical outing of 2020. Not once all season entering Sunday had the sophomore signal-caller thrown multiple TDs without committing an interception, while 280 passing yards marked Lock's second-greatest total of the year. His 149.5 passer rating is the third-highest single-game figure in franchise history behind only Peyton Manning (rating of 157.2 in 2014) and John Elway (156.0 rating in 1995), per Patrick Smyth of the Broncos' official site. With Carson Wentz being the only player to have thrown more interceptions than Lock entering Week 14, an improvement in the giveaway category is encouraging for the second-year pro. He now prepares to face Buffalo on a short week, with the Broncos hosting the Bills on Saturday at 4:30 PM EST.
