Osweiler leads Broncos to playoffs

Moreover, McCarron suffered a left (non-throwing) wrist injury on the play, and an MRI on Monday revealed that he has a “significant” sprain but that it appears, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, that McCarron will be able to play through the pain.

Russell Bodine’s catchable shotgun snap eluded AJ McCarron, who was making his second start in place of Andy Dalton.

“It was my fault”. Despite the fact that Peyton Manning said he could play in Week 17 if the Broncos need him, the team has made a decision to stick with Brock Osweiler. I told (center) Russ (Bodine) I looked up to see the coverage and the snap caught me by surprise.

I’m not blaming Cincinnati or McCarron for the Chiefs issues.

Osweiler drove the Broncos 46 yards in 14 plays for the game-winning field goal.

As the likely No. 2 seed, the highest remaining seeded team from the WIld Card round would be Denver’s foe in the Divisional Round following their bye.

After Brandon McManus botched a 45-yard field-goal attempt as regulation time expired, the Broncos won the coin toss.

“I knew I had a bad game last week so I just wanted to come back, bounce back against another Pro Bowl receiver, and make plays on him”, Harris told.

The Broncos coach has also said that if Manning’s healthy enough to play, then he’ll play, which is probably why Kubiak was asked about his quarterback situation after Monday’s game, because, according to Manning, he’s now healthy enough to play.

There is no exact formula for developing a mentality and an identity for a football team. The New England Patriots (12-3) now hold the 1 seed and home field advantage. While Denver ended up putting up some yards in the second half, the veteran defensive end helped to keep the game in control as the defense got gassed late. “It is what it is now”. “It’s going to be very tough on us physically”. The Chiefs would be the third seed.

Running back C.J. Anderson added a 39-yard touchdown run for Denver, which can lock up the AFC West title with a win over the San Diego Chargers in the regular-season finale at home on Sunday. If something would change, the players would know first and you all would know second.

McManus has missed a kick in five consecutive games, and this one wasn’t even close.

The relieved Bengals called tails but the coin landed heads. That includes the Broncos, and it includes the Bengals, who lost to the Broncos 17-14 in overtime, thereby securing a playoff berth for Denver. “So I’ll do whatever is best for the team come next week”. “But that’s football”, said Osweiler, who will get the start against the Chargers next week, too.

Seattle at Arizona: The Seahawks need a victory to avoid being the No. 6 seed in the NFC, so count on them putting forth a playoff-like effort since the reward is a trip to Washington instead of Green Bay or Minnesota. A holding penalty on Andrew Whitworth killed the Bengals’ first drive of the second half.

On the Bengals’ second play from scrimmage after Brandon McManus had given the Broncos the lead with a 37-yard field goal in overtime, McCarron mishandled the snap that was recovered by linebacker DeMarcus Ware to end a compelling matchup played in frigid weather.
