Brock Osweiler leads Broncos to win over Bears in first career start
I wasn’t going to let one of those days go by where I didn’t learn something.
Osweiler took over for Manning during the Broncos’ Week 10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs before leading the team to a win over the Chicago Bears this past Sunday. However, Cutler was stripped and sacked by beastly linebacker Von Miller as left tackle Charles Leno Jr. was beaten badly on the play.
Injuries: Bears CB Bryce Callahan came out of the game late in the first quarter with what looked like an arm/hand issue.
But this time, Fox chose to go for it. A pressured Cutler decided not to run, instead trying to force the ball to Jeremy Langford who was heavily covered and the pass was incomplete. We went with the one option, and we didn’t even execute that perfectly, which a week ago in St. Louis, a similar type situation turned into a first down. It had been kind of a field-goal game. “Every time you talk to anybody on that team, going into last night they’re like, ‘we cannot wait to see what this kid can do because Kubiak wants his offense run the right way'”. “So we were aggressive and came up short on 4th and 4”.
There’s plenty to improve, but having a few mojo back in that locker room can not be understated as the Broncos have their biggest test next weekend.
Today’s Broncos vs Bears 2015 game is airing on CBS in select TV markets.
BUCCANEERS 45, EAGLES 17 Jameis Winston and Doug Martin were an unstoppable combination.
It was a significant step back from last week when the Bears’ defense held Rams star rookie Todd Gurley to 45 yards on 12 attempts. Sanders had 237 for the Lions against Tampa in 1994. For the first time in awhile, the fan base was united. Osweiler made limited appearances throughout second halves and fourth quarters of blowout victories. Malik Jackson added a fumble recovery after Brandon Marshall’s fourth quarter strip sack. Tight ends Vernon Davis and Owen Daniels combined for 10 receptions and 137 yards.
The Bears blew multiple opportunities and a lack of talent especially on defense is showing up at crucial points in games. In the games that we’ve won, we figured out a way to do that. It won’t get any easier in Green Bay on Thursday. Like when the Packers did the same thing to A-Rod (Aaron Rodgers). The Broncos entered Week 11 with the No. 29 rushing offense, averaging 86 yards a game.
He appeared calm as he led the Broncos with 2-of-2 passing during the opening drive for 56 yards. Rawls finished with 255 total yards. He has 43 yards, two catches, no touchdowns.
Turnovers return. Danny Trevathan’s interception was the Broncos first forced turnover since October 18 against Cleveland. By the time of the final whistle, there was no question: It’s Brock to the future. This one was on the offense, which totally bogged down in the second half. Yates, signed on October 28 after Ryan Mallett (Arkansas Razorbacks) was released, started in place of Brian Hoyer, who was out with a concussion.
The toughness in Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders has been demonstrated on multiple occasions the past two years so it speaks to how badly his left ankle is injured after playing through it the previous two games. Atlanta started 5-0, but has lost four of five. However, each time they failed to score a touchdown, Gould picked the team up, finishing the game with three field goals of 46, 37, and 37 yards, respectively.
After losing star running back Devonta Freeman to a concussion early in the game, the Falcons (6-4) still managed to build leads of 14-0 and 21-7.
