No change yet at quarterback for Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler (17) celebrates after running for a touchdown during the first half of an NFL football game in Pittsburgh, Sunday, Dec. 20, 2015.
Sammy Watkins, Bills, had two touchdowns catches while finishing with five receptions for 111 yards.
The absolute worst case scenario is that the Broncos split the next two weeks and lose at home to either the Bengals or the Chargers, while the Chiefs win out against the Browns and Ravens.
PITTSBURGH (AP) – There was no explosion necessary, really. Most would expect them to run the ball and run the clock without taking the risk, but Antonio Brown lessens that risk.
“I don’t think there’s a big game, there are important games”. But what’s most important isn’t how the Broncos – or, for that matter, the Steelers played – but how the Patriots will perform once they begin defense of their Super Bowl championship. We just executed it better.
Though outside linebackers coach Joey Porter did what he always does – animatedly challenging his players to get it together – Moats insists Butler and head coach Mike Tomlin didn’t throw the gameplan into the nearest dumpster.
For the first time this season, the No Fly Zone didn’t help. Sanders, who played his first four years in the league for the Steelers before leaving for the Broncos for the 2014 season, lit up his former team in the first 30 minutes.
The next four possessions – despite a penalty on each – resulted in three-and-outs, two for each team. Osweiler will have X-rays on Monday to determine if there’s any more damage. Roethlisberger passed for 380 yards and three scores against the NFL’s best defense.
Over the last six games, he is averaging 366 passing yards per game. What career starter, what surefire hall-of-famer who’s finally having to stare down his own football mortality, would be fine with finishing out his career on the bench? “Once we did get on the same page you could see how we operated and how much more effective we were”. Will they stick with the young gun, or will Manning, who wildly under-performed this season, get his job back? Veteran Peyton Manning participated in practice last week, though he was inactive for a fifth straight game Sunday as the Broncos lost 34-27 at Pittsburgh. The NFL’s all-time passing leader traveled with the team and signed dozens of autographs in the pregame, save for any of Pittsburgh’s yellow Terrible Towels, which Manning shunned when thrust his way. But not at Heinz Field with the Steelers winning 34-27.
The NFL has suspended New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr for one game following his on-field antics during Sunday’s defeat to the unbeaten Carolina Panthers. Where do the Broncos go from here to ensure that they clinch the AFC West Division title, or at the very least, a playoff berth?
And just like that, the issues vanished.
“We’re just going to try to win those two games”, Bowles said, “and make positive steps going forward”.
“That left the Jets, Chiefs and Steelers at 9-5 “ but the Steelers moved ahead of the Jets to claim the sixth and final spot in the AFC playoff race because of a common-opponents tiebreaker. Going into Sunday’s contest, Harris hadn’t given up a touchdown in two years. He (Brown) is a good receiver. “Each week, you have to work and get better”. “There’s no stopping me”.
They won the game. Osweiler is only the third QB in Denver history to have three TD passes and one rushing score in the same game…. Stewart played in each of the first 13 games this season and had 52 tackles (40 solos), nine passes defensed, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and one interception.
