Broncos' Fangio: Lock, Bridgewater have made choosing QB a 'hard decision'

The Denver Broncos are inching closer to naming a starting quarterback.

Head coach Vic Fangio says a decision could come shortly, but it won't be an easy one due to Drew Lock's and Teddy Bridgewater's stellar play.

"The calendar’s closing in on us. It won’t be tomorrow. The earliest it would be would be early next week, or we’ll let it go another week," Fangio said following Saturday's preseason game, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.

"Drew and Teddy have done well, as you guys have seen, and they’ve made it a hard decision," Fangio added. "We’ll give it thorough thought. We’ve been discussing it with the coaches, with George (Paton) all along, and we’ll continue to do that."

Bridgewater and Lock have each received one start this preseason, with both quarterbacks making a case to win the starting job. Bridgewater completed 9 of 11 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 30-3 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Meanwhile, Lock threw for 151 yards and two touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings last week.

"Both of these guys have done well," the bench boss said. "We can play and win with either one of these guys, and that’s a good thing."

The Broncos acquired Bridgewater from the Panthers this offseason after Lock struggled to cement himself during his first two seasons in the NFL.
