In a game dominated by backups, mistakes and a coach patrolling the sidelines after spending the day in the hospital, the Denver Broncos beat the Atlanta Falcons 14-10 in the preseason-opening Hall of Fame Game at Canton, Ohio, on Thursday. The most highly anticipated debut was that of Broncos quarterback Drew Lock, a second-round pick who put together a record-setting career at Missouri. Benkert, an undrafted rookie out of Virginia, was 19 of 34 for 185 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The stone reportedly had yet to pass before Fangio left the hospital for the game. He lost the challenge, however, as the call against Broncos cornerback Linden Stephens late in the second quarter was upheld after a booth review.
