The Denver Broncos lost control in the second quarter of what looked like a low-scoring affair with the Washington Redskins.

And once again, quarterback issues plagued the underachieving Broncos.

Brock Osweiler got the nod under center, and he wasn’t good. No surprises there, as he went 22-of-38 with an interception and 60.5 passer rating. It’s safe to say general manager John Lynch needs to figure out his quarterback situation big time this offseason.

And he might need to evaluate head coach Vance Joseph, who hasn’t gotten the most out of a once-elite defense.

Is he on the outs this offseason? It wouldn’t be shocking.
