Dayton’s Latimer notches first National Football League touchdown

Osweiler was helped all day by a strong running game – the Broncos rushed for 56 yards in the first quarter, which is the team’s second-highest rushing total in any quarter this season. The Bears quarterback had two, and lost by two.

By completing 20 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns in a no-nonsense performance highlighted by a composed 10-play, 71-yard drive that gave Denver a 17-9 lead early in the fourth quarter, Osweiler has earned the right to start against the Patriots.

-Outside of a two-yard touchdown run late in the game, Jeremy Langford struggled to get anything going. Osweiler got sacked five times, but he kept his poise against an aggressive defense.

Osweiler, who turned 25 on Sunday, isn’t Peyton Manning.

“If Brock has no turnovers, that’s the only thing I really need to look at”. Ronnie Hillman ran for 102 yards on 21 carries, while C.J. Anderson added 59 yards on 12 attempts.

Brock Osweiler’s solid play in Denver’s 17-15 victory over the Chicago Bears not only proved he can carry a team, it showed just how limited the Denver Broncos’ offense has been with the aging and ailing Manning.

At this point, Osweiler can relax and let his future come to him.

For the former second-round draft pick, the Broncos probably hoped Latimer’s first National Football League touchdown would have come a littler sooner than a season and a half into his career, but right now, the Broncos will take it.

Remember the Gatorade commercial with Peyton Manning, Yao Ming and Derek Jeter in it. They all went to a kid named Jimmy’s house to get him so they can play their respective sports with him.

The Denver Broncos have a quarterback dilemma on their hands, but Gary Kubiak wasn’t in the mood for solving it Sunday.

Yes, Chicago’s defense is as atrocious as they come in the NFL (27th in Football Outsiders’ Defense-adjusted Value Over Average). Chicago, which had won two in a row, dropped to 4-6 and now is only a game ahead of last-place Detroit in the NFC North.

The Broncos’ defense did the rest. 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. And while all of those games could’ve gone either way, the Bears feel like they let a big opportunity slip away Sunday at Soldier Field. It’s about as close to a no-lose situation as possible for the delicate political situation for the Broncos who have often been winning this season in spite of their legendary. but fading quarterback. The Broncos are 7-2 overall and 4-1 on the road. Elway and Kubiak would then get an idea of how the team might do in the playoffs if Osweiler was behind center.

Despite it being Osweiler’s first start, you could blur your vision and think you were watching any of the other quarterbacks that have effectively executed Kubiak’s offense, be it Jake Plummer, Matt Schaub or Joe Flacco.

For at least one week, a 6-foot-8 quarterback with size 17s did a good job filling a few big shoes. It had been kind of a field goal game. Broncos left guard Evan Mathis limped off the field with an ankle injury in the closing minutes…. It was not clear how he was hurt.
