(CBS4)- It’s been a frustrating season for Broncos fans hoping the team would take a step forward to playoff contention this season. Injuries have certainly played a factor as has the inconsistency of quarterback Drew Lock.

In his first season as full-time starter, Lock has flashed plenty of good moments mixed with some bad as well. What’s particularly striking about his six (really five) starts this season is the difference between his play in the first and second halves of games. As ESPN senior writer Jeff Legwold pointed out this week, Lock has been a starkly different quarterback late in games than he has been in the first half.

“This season Lock is a 57% passer in the first half of games with one touchdown and one interception. He is a 65% passer in the second half of games with five touchdowns and two interceptions as well as a rushing touchdown. All six of those second half touchdowns have been scored in the fourth quarter of the last two games combined.”
