Kyle Orton completed 24-of-39 passes for 173 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in the Broncos' Week 3 loss to Tennessee. In a checkdown-filled passing game, Orton managed a paltry 4.43 YPA average and is now at 6.11 on the season. The Denver offense is run-oriented in nature, and doesn't run smoothly when the team is playing from behind. On Sunday, it showed up in a struggling Orton's performance. Through three weeks, he has five TDs and three INTs and has topped 200 passing yards once. Continue to consider Orton a QB2 only as he prepares to face the Packers in Week 4.
