Brock Osweiler will start for Broncos vs. Bengals

But the Broncos are 10-4 while the Kansas City Chiefs, who started the year off at 1-5, are 9-5 – and have to easy opponents line up to finish the season, per USA Today. Part of that stat has to do with the Bengals getting big leads early on in games leading their opponent to play catch-up and throw the ball more. “We have an extra day so we’re going to try to use it”.

“He’s made progress. I think he’s had two good days”. His late interception against the Steelers was ultimately the deciding factor as they went down the field and scored the go-ahead touchdown after Ryan Shazier picked off Osweiler’s pass. Manning suffered a tear in his plantar fascia near his left heel in the Broncos’ Nov. 8 loss in Indianapolis.

Manning accompanied his teammates to Pittsburgh last weekend and was on the sideline, where he was seen providing advice to Osweiler, as he did the previous week. They’ve been outscored 36-0 in the second half of this month’s games, including a 21-0 deficit in Pittsburgh last weekend. He’s 3-2. If he could just figure out how to duplicate his first half success in the second and learn how to close out games in the fourth quarter, the Broncos will be very hard to beat. That was their second loss in a row and they haven’t been able to score points in the second half since their win over the New England Patriots in week 12. I don’t know. He’s the one that I’m trying to get a [bead] on really. “I know that it sounds somewhat basic, but sometimes it’s the little things and the basic things that get you back on track”.

As it stands, the Broncos have an outside shot to land a first-round bye. He has the arm – now Brock needs to find receiving help deep. Vernon Davis and Demaryius Thomas had crucial drops the last two weeks, and wins in either of those games would’ve improved Denver’s playoff chances. They also could miss the postseason. Kubiak stated on Monday. he would “absolutely” be snug having Manning frock as the backup if he was not fully wholesome, still it’s clear in that Manning just isn’t even to in that time still. “There are a lot of positive plays that we need to hang on to. That’s what we’re focused on right now”.

Denver’s usually sound defense gave up its highest point total of the season against the Steelers and will look to bounce back against the Bengals, who gained a season-low 242 yards last week.
