Brett Rypien

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Brett Rypien did not perform well during his first start of the season in the team's Week 9 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Filling in for Matthew Stafford (thumb), Rypien completed 13 of his 28 pass attempts for 130 yards and no touchdowns, while throwing one interception. The 27-year-old also rushed the ball three times for 19 yards on the ground. The offense could not consistently move the ball and the absence of Stafford was clear. Even if Rypien starts against ...

Updating a previous report, X-rays came back negative on Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford's right thumb, but it's still possible that he'll miss some time. Stafford hit his right thumb on the helmet of Dallas Cowboys star pass-rusher Micah Parsons in the second quarter on Sunday in the blowout loss and was in obvious pain as he rushed off the field. Backup Brett Rypien took over for good after halftime. The 35-year-old Stafford finished 13-for-22 for 162 yards, one touchdown and ... [Read More]

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien didn't look all that great in just his third career start in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals, but he did lead the Broncos to only their fourth win of the season. In the 24-15 victory, Rypien went 21-for-26 for 197 yards, one touchdown and one interception while getting sacked seven times for 41 yards. He also fumbled the ball twice and lost one of them. The 26-year-old was filling in for Russell Wilson (concussion), but there's a good chance that ... [Read More]

Denver Broncos backup quarterback Brett Rypien was forced into action in the fourth quarter of the team's 34-28 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday when Russell Wilson suffered a concussion. Rypien had a chance to lead the Broncos to a late win after an interception of Patrick Mahomes, but he fell short. The 26-year-old finished 4-for-8 for just 16 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He also fumbled a snap but was fortunate enough to recover it. There's a chance ... [Read More]

As expected, Denver Broncos backup quarterback Brett Rypien didn't light up the box score in the 16-9 loss to the New York Jets in Week 7 with Russell Wilson (hamstring) sidelined. Rypien finished the game 24-for-46 for 225 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. He was sacked one time and carried the ball three times for just nine yards. Nobody was expecting Rypien to be a savior for a Broncos offense that entered the weekend as the lowest-scoring unit in football. But he was able to keep ... [Read More]
