There won’t be a surprise Peyton Manning return on Monday night for the Broncos, as the team announced Wednesday that Manning would be inactive for Week 16.

The teams also combined for a record 947 total offensive yards, topping the previous record of 912 set by SC and Missouri in 2005. The drive was capped off with a one-yard touchdown run by Trey Edmunds, extending the lead to a comfortable 52-31.
Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said Brock Osweiler’s eye infection has largely cleared up and Peyton Manning had a good week of work.

He attempted to get back on top by going after a short one, but he mis-hit a simple catch to JP Duminy. Alastair Cook: “Hales is ready to play; he’s waited for his chance and earned his right to selection”.

Barea also preceded Nowitzki’s shot with a 3-pointer at the two-minute mark for a 117-116 lead, setting up the dramatic finish. Asked about it before the game, Hollins said: “I have no comment about Deron Williams and what he says”.

The truth is that if Manning does not recover and is cut by the Broncos, there are few teams who will be willing to take a chance on a 39 year old quarterback coming off a significant injury. “I feel like I’m always calm”. For me, it’s just all about doing whatever is best for this football team, and being prepared to play.
But what the Broncos need is for Osweiler – and the offense – be more like its first-half selves than what they have been in the second half. The Broncos’ depleted safety corps got their two starters back Saturday, at least during the early viewing period.
Following that outing, Denver will close the season with a division matchup taking on the struggling San Diego Chargers.

“That’s why he’s a Pro Bowl player, and I think there is even more to come down the road for him”, Kubiak said, adding.
