Who Is Brock Osweiler? Peyton Manning Benched for Broncos Backup Quarterback

Via Troy Renck of the Denver Post, Kubiak said he made the move to bench Peyton to “protect him”.

“He’s still a great quarterback – just not what he used to be”, Kansas City linebacker Derrick Johnson said. This loss is as much on Kubiak as it is on Manning. “But to me, that’s an easy way out”.

So does she now, due to Manning’s letter that quoted Matthew 5 (“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted”) and mentioned how the quarterback was “honored that your father was a supporter of mine”.

Manning received treatment for rib and foot injuries on Saturday. Manning would then sit out the rest of the game as a ‘healthy benching’.

“I wanted to play better”.

“I’m disappointed in myself”, Kubiak continued. “I needed to make probably that tough decision there”. With the two interceptions, Manning led the National Football League in interceptions heading into their week 10 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Despite the injuries on defense, Peyton Manning looked to carry the Denver Broncos back into the win column; moreover, Manning entered this week’s contest just two yards behind Brett Favre for the All-Time passing yards record.

It got worse from there, and both the quarterback and coach – clearly not on the same page when it comes to what it will take to get the aching 39-year-old through the season – were shouldering the blame.

“You stay committed to what you believe in”, said coach Gary Kubiak in the third week of this season, via Jeff Legwold of ESPN.

There are rumors that the Denver Broncos could be turning to Brock Osweiler on a full-time basis, as the team was reportedly close to moving on from Manning this summer when he was considering retirement.

Osweiler, 24, was drafted in 2012 in the second round. Still, it was a mildly promising show for a quarterback the city has been yearning to see. “Bad game and disappointing”. KC travels out to San Diego next week to face the 2-7 Chargers and their other personal nemesis, Philip Rivers.

Cairo Santos made five field goals and Alex Smith finished an efficient 17 of 31 for 204 yards and an 80-yard TD pass to West that put the finishing touches on the win early in the fourth quarter.

Manning’s previous career-worst QB rating was 35.0, in a December 2001 Colts loss to the Dolphins.

The 3rd quarter ended with the Chiefs up 22-0. Cornerbacks Bradley Roby and Kayvon Webster, despite a couple of penalties, held their receivers in check for most of the game in place of the suspended Aqib Talib. And while the back-up put up a few decent numbers against a soft, bend-but-don’t-break defensive scheme the Chiefs were playing, at no time did anyone ever think that Denver was going to complete another gut-punching comeback. “I lost control”, he said.

Key play: Brock Osweiler threw an interception that seemed to cement the idea that the Broncos were going to lose in many fans’ minds, according to reports of them streaming to the exits after the pick.
