Broncos Country likes Ehlinger in the second QB spot

But had the poll benn taken after the win over the Vikings — in which Ehlinger threw three touchdowns in spite of an early interception — it's possible the presumed No. 3 quarterback would have had even more votes for pushing him up the depth chart to No.2.

Head coach Sean Payton was particularly impressed with the second touchdown, which officially went down as a 14-yard touchdown pass to player-of-the-night Cody Schrader. But in reality the play was more like a 30-yard pass after scrambling outside and finding a wide open Schrader.

"Well, there's more to it than that," Payton said of his chest-bump celly on the sidelines with No. 4.
