Kyle Sloter moved the chains.
He kept the chains moving and Denver scored.
He also bounced back from a horrible start against Arizona with drives of 98, 96 and 80 yards.
He led Denver to two late touchdowns to thwart the Chicago Bears.
What's his payoff? A bum's rush and a one-way bus ticket to the frozen fields of Minnesota.
Meanwhile, Uncle John Elway brings back Kyle Peko, injury prone, and Cody Latimer, famous, limp-wrist teaser.
It would serve Denver right if Sloter once again rose above the ashes of his funeral pyre in the Rocky Mountains.
Sloter has "The Juice," but Elway's misconceptions of quarterback talent have once again misled Denver. Denver's offense, no matter the coordinator, no matter the supporting cast, will struggle as long as the quarterback is mediocre.
Mediocre is the best you can call Trevorlittle Siemian. Paxton Lynch can't even fall right and hurt himself.
Brock Osweiler, the petulant passer, is back by further default.
Denver's offense is no less a big mess.
