Broncos quarterback Drew Lock was born in Missouri and played college football for the Tigers and he — gasp! — grew up a Chiefs fan.
“I did not grow up a Broncos fan,” Lock said in April after he was selected by Denver in the draft. “I was a Chiefs guy.”
There’s good news, though.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be able to go back to Kansas City and hopefully get a couple wins with ‘the bad guys.'” Lock said in April.
After defeating the Texans 38-24 on Sunday, Lock mentioned that he will return to Missouri for the first time as a starting QB in the NFL.
“That’s my home I’ve been there a thousand times,” Lock said Sunday evening. “Nothing new about it except for that I’m going to be in blue and orange and not red and yellow. So it will be a little different.”
Lock had a big game in Houston, throwing for over 300 yards and three touchdowns. He knows the Broncos will need to stay focused this week as they prepare for the Chiefs, who just knocked off the Patriots.
“We need to keep it day-by-day not get too far ahead of ourselves, we had an awesome game today, but that was because of the prep we had this week,” Lock said. “We can’t slack off this week going into the Chiefs game.”
