Coach Josh McDaniels spoke earlier this week about what would go into the decision of who would start at quarterback this week.

McDaniels said: "Oh, I mean, I think you just measure it all out and honestly it happens almost every week, it's just not necessarily at quarterback. But where there's somebody who can't play and Nate Hobbs can't go, so Tyler [Hall] is going to come up. Is it Amik [Robertson], Tyler -- how are we going to share that load? You know what I mean? So, it's kind of I'd say par for the course as a football team. It's just the quarterback position gets a little bit more attention to it. But both guys are having a good week practicing. We'll see how today goes and then we're just going to make the right decision. And I think at the end of the day, both of them are going to be ready to go. I have confidence in both of them. The good thing is we've talked about is both of them have played already, so that's a unique situation, I'd say. So far in six games, we've had three quarterbacks out there who have all competed in close games. So, I'm confident in both of them."

The Silver and Black are on the road to take on the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Oct. 22, at 1:05 p.m. EDT/10:05 a.m. PDT.
