Peyton Manning practices with Broncos backups

Manning threw during practice Wednesday and Thursday, including some work with the scout team against the Broncos’ starting defense. The former National Football League running back went on to state, “You saw it today in the red zone, Brock Osweiler couldn’t put it in the end zone”.

Christmas Eve Forecast: Record-shattering warmth today
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in some parts of the country, but in others it feels more like a typical spring day. Green Christmas wins out this year with record-breaking temperatures making for a holiday that could get Heat Miser singing.

In addition to Manning, Kubiak said safeties T.J.

A police source told the ABC that the Merrylands home of Salihy raided this morning was also raided earlier this month. Police say their investigation disrupted the terror plot.

The Broncos were able to open up Kubiak’s entire playbook with Osweiler under center, including play-action passes, bootlegs, sprint-outs and rollouts, and heavier use of the tight ends as targets. The team has a championship-quality defense and could have a strong chance to win reach the Super Bowl if Osweiler can continue to offer strong performances.


Turkish forces and PKK engage in intense clashes
The three-decade conflict between Turkish security forces and the PKK rebels have claimed the lives of more than 30,000 people. Turkey and Russia have been at odds since Ankara downed a Russian jet last month saying it violated its airspace.

As the 2015 season has progressed, Manning has become a story lingering in the background as Brock Osweiler has quarterbacked the team to a 3-2 record since taking over the reigns of the once high-powered Broncos offense. “We have been dealing with it and been trying to deal with it the right way and get him back to where he feels really good”, Kubiak said Friday. “I have a lot of faith in both of those guys”, Green said.

They’ve gone seven quarters without an offensive touchdown, but Osweiler isn’t the only reason: Demaryius Thomas and Vernon Davis had crucial drops of on-target passes in the fourth quarter Sunday that squashed their comeback bid.

And that means if Osweiler struggles Sunday, the quarterback controversy in Denver will heat up as Manning’s health improves.

The Broncos ran for an average of 161 yards in Osweiler’s first three starts, almost twice the production they got on the ground when Manning was in the lineup.

Manning has not played since November 15 when he threw four interceptions in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. “The question is over the next two days, I’m getting together with Peyton and with (Antonopulos) and we’re going to make a decision on how we proceed this week”.

Consider it yet another weird chapter in what has been a season unlike any other in Manning’s 18-year career. Would Manning reclaim his spot for a crucial home game against the Bengals that could determine who gets a bye in the first round of the playoffs? “But you get over those real quick and you go to the next week and that’s what we’ll do”.

Harris said he’s ready to move on, too.

Peyton Manning isn’t healthy enough to be considered for a backup role at this point, but if he is good enough to return this season don’t expect to see him holding a clipboard.

NOTES: Sanders created a stir shortly after he signed with Denver past year when he pointed out he never met a QB who prepared like Manning. “Until I sit down and see exactly where Peyton’s at, where we’re moving this week”, he said.
