AFC Notes: Broncos, Chargers, Raiders

Broncos

• Broncos’ QB Teddy Bridgewater spoke to the media after the team defeated the Dallas Cowboys: “As long as we stay humble we can do some great things.” (Troy Renck)
• Bridgewater had issues with his tests and was concerned about being in close contact with QB Drew Lock: “I was a little worried. This morning wasn’t an ideal Sunday morning. You take the test and there’s an error with the test. ‘All right what’s going on?’ But I’m happy I was able to play the game.” (Mike Klis)
• Broncos’ G Graham Glasgow fractured his ankle during the game and is expected to miss significant time. He commented on the win after being wheeled to the team bus: “It’s not great but at least we won. This was a really good win for our team. I’m happy we were able to go out there and show we’re better than people thought.” (Mike Klis)
• ESPN’s Ed Werder says Broncos QB Drew Lock was deemed a close contact of someone from outside the team before he tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday. Lock is vaccinated.
