Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler speaks with reporters… The Broncos will practice Thursday, then take Christmas Day off before finishing preparations for the Bengals on Saturday. The fourth-year quarterback, who is getting the first starts of his career, completed 14 of 18 passes, with three touchdowns, plus a rushing touchdown, in the first two quarters against Pittsburgh, as Denver was 8-for-8 on third downs and held a 27-13 halftime lead.

I like that routine, so that’s what we’re going to do this week. Hopefully we’ll have a good week this week and we’ll see, just trying to get him healthy….

Osweiler has started four consecutive games but lost two consecutive starts and has a left shoulder injury.
