Saints 31 Denver 3
Neither team played a QB yesterday...
First team since 1998 to have more INTs than completions.
Although I'm happy with the result - I gotta say I am in awe of Denver's "QB" fill-in. Zero practice reps, no prep besides a pat on the back, facing one of the NFLs toughest defenses, and he got up every single play and got back to it.
Kendall Hinton. UDFA as a WR, but he played QB at Wake Forest. Then thrust into a QB situation at the last second.

Whew, talk about throwing your players under a bus. Broncos ought to have told the NFL to pound sand, we're playing our QBs who aren't actually sick.
And I think he only played QB as a freshman. Denver would have rather have played an assistant coach at QB but the league said no. The wholw thing was kind of silly, postpone the game 2-3 days if the other QBs are healthy, they play. But this way things, if not interesting, were pretty comical.
Yeah I read that and it makes sense I guess. Not sure that would have happened much this year with the expanded practice squads with no restrictions of who you could sign.
And also correct is all the COVID rules made this an issue in the first place. Also some games have been postponed, while other teams have to play no matter the circumstance. Some teams fined and lose draft picks, other no issues at all.
So why is it the Ravens/Steelers game can be moved all the way to Wednesday of this week but the Broncos are required to play their game as scheduled with practically no QB?
