Denver Broncos Win Behind Brock Osweiler
FanSided Daily brings you the hottest content on your favorite teams.
Harris said Osweiler deserves kudos for being willing to learn from Peyton Manning as his backup for all these years.
The pocket presence helped him avoid being sacked more as the game went on.
Physically, Manning has to be the worst quarterback in the NFL. But that was the only negative from the Broncos’ passing game Sunday, as Osweiler hit 20 of 27 passes without an interception, giving the Broncos their first game without an interception this season. “It’ll be Brock’s team eventually”. Osweiler got the task of being behind one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time, Peyton Manning.
Well, it appears that the Brock Osweiler-led Denver Broncos did fairly well on Sunday as they defeated the Chicago Bears 17-15.
Osweiler led the Broncos to a 17-15 win over the Bears and threw for 250 yards and 2 TD’s.
Ronnie Hillman carried a season-high 21 times for 102 yards.
Manning didn’t practice or attend meetings last week as he received treatment on his left foot, bruised ribs and sore throwing shoulder, injuries that sidelined him at midseason for the first time in his 18-year career. And as a separate source told PFT on Monday, Manning has told teammates that he wants to play next year. Osweiler was notified last week that he will replace Peyton Manning who is now in the injured list. Given that Manning may continue to ride the pine, the question arises: Have we seen the last Brady-Manning National Football League face off?
The game was not decided, however, until only 24 seconds remained when the Bears, who failed to score a point on two excellent opportunities earlier in the fourth quarter, got a two-yard touchdown run from Jeremy Langford, who then was stopped attempting to run in for a two-point PAT. Apparently, the team believes that Manning is no longer starting quarterback material, because they are competing and yet, they took his job away, according to USA Today. We’ve got some guys on this team that we’re trying to get healthy, so that’s important. In the games that we’ve won, we figured out a way to do that. “We just have to go back, look at the film and correct our mistakes”. “We just have to correct it. It’s that simple”.
“We have to start faster than that”, linebacker Shea McClellin said. “He can do everything”.
Manning’s future with the Denver Broncos seems uncertain at best, butt the quarterback intends to play in 2016, ProFootballTalk.com reported Sunday. We covered the 11th hour for Manning already at this link.
How would the franchise handle sitting Manning the remainder of the season and possibly the playoffs after he was brought to Denver to win a Super Bowl and in the process of him coming from Indianapolis, he ousted the uber-popular Tim Tebow?
