Former Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock led a 92-yard game-winning drive for the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football that culminated with a beautiful 29-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in a 20-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15.
Here’s a sampling of how Broncos fans reacted to the moment.
Drew Lock is better than Russell Wilson.

Drew Lock just had a more memorable moment with Seattle than Russell Wilson will ever have in Denver.

Crazy that Drew Lock is better than Russell Wilson and also a billion dollars cheaper and the broncos said no give me the corn ball

Facts hurts. Drew Lock > Russell Wilson. We blew our future on someone who can’t read defenses. Crying shame that is.

Sean Payton with Drew Lock would be better than Russell Wilson pic.twitter.com/aQ28dBBrK6

The Broncos gave up entirely too much for Russ. In retrospect, there isn’t a major difference between Russ and Drew Lock

Every former Broncos QB who started this week won.
1. Flacco got a Win for CLE
2. Keenum (Keesum) got a Win for HOU
3. Drew Lock got a Win for SEA4. Siemian filled in for Zach Wilson but it was too late.
Unfortunately the Broncos current QB did not win this week.

Drew Lock, Joe Flacco and Case Keenum all won meaningful games in comeback fashion this week. And what did Russell Wilson do?
— Mathieu (@BucketHatMookie) December 19, 2023
Seeing Drew lock ,Case Keenum and Joe Flacco all win this weekend Russell Wilson must step up these 3 games to prove he's worth the 35 million dollars he's seeking and I think his #Broncos career is on the line #BroncosCountry https://t.co/WMcXvXlceL

As a Denver broncos fan I always believed in drew lock. I saw a great QB at times. And at times a QB who needed help and somebody to just believe in him. I truly believe he can be a starting QB in the NFL https://t.co/9xEtIiULNG

If you’re a real Broncos fan, you’re happy for Drew Lock.
— Mile High Bif (@5280Bif) December 19, 2023
We’ll always wonder what could have been if the #Broncos didn’t saddle Drew Lock with Vic Fangio and Pat Shurmur.
— Zack Kelberman (@KelbermanNFL) December 19, 2023
Drew Lock game winning drive and a bunch of broncos fans are acting like they hadn’t taken every opportunity possible to drag him for the last 4 years lmao.
I love Drew and I’m happy for him

Nah not gunna lie drew lock cooked on the eagles last night too bad he couldn’t do that on the broncos lmao
— PhantomRP (@PHANTOMxFPS) December 19, 2023
My timeline is literally just broncos fans reminiscing about Drew Lock and i want to barf
— Alexander (@hrdtim3s) December 19, 2023
Drew Lock wins big game yesterday and the morons are out in full voice saying we shouldn’t have traded him.
Keenum and Flacco also won big games.
See, I’m saying small sample sizes don’t prove anything.— Mike DeCicco (@MikeDeCicco) December 19, 2023
Drew Lock has one good game and all of Broncos twitter starts freaking out. Happy for the dude but chill. He's not better than Russ and not even close. Everyone has a good game sometimes look at Devito and Josh Dobbs #BroncosCountry #MNF

Up next for Lock and the Seahawks (7-7) is a road game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 16. Up next for Russell Wilson and the Broncos (7-7) is a home game against the New England Patriots on Christmas Eve.
