Drew Lock is used to dodging defensive players on the field, but flying lug nuts is a different issue altogether.

Kansas Highway Patrol’s Twitter account announced on Wednesday the Denver Broncos quarterback’s windshield fended off a flying lug nut that flew across the median.

“Crazy having a (lug-nut) fly across the median striking your windshield and nearly go through it!” Gardner tweeted Wednesday. “Glad your #seatbelt was fastened. Have a safe season now and into the future.”

Safe travels the rest of your way across Kansas @DrewLock23 ?
