Brock Osweiler to start for Broncos in Week 17
“But I’d say, at the end of the day, my teammates know what I’m capable of so it’s not really a surprise to them, they’re just happy and the same goes for myself”.

McCarron wore a wrap on his wrist after the game and pinned the loss on himself. They need the Bengals, Chargers, Jets, Saints, Chiefs, Patriots, and Browns to all lose in order to hold the tiebreaker over the Texans.
Three plays that shaped the game, earned the Broncos a playoff berth and, more importantly, three players who have helped shape the mentality of the team.
That Denver was in position to win was rather remarkable given the first 30 minutes.
“I’m 24 years old and I don’t think I’ve ever kicked the ball like that in my life: grade school, elementary school, or anything like that”, McManus said.
The Denver Broncos finally clinched a play-off spot with a 20-17 victory in overtime win against the Cincinnati Bengals.
There is no exact formula for developing a mentality and an identity for a football team. If they win, they would either play at New England or at Denver – if today’s seeding stands.
The Broncos could clinch a first round bye with a win on Sunday. “It is what it is now”. “We had been through a tough patch here, and we just needed it emotionally”. That would secure the No. 1 seed and push the Patriots down to No. 2. The Broncos would be in jeopardy of losing the AFC West if the Chiefs win; Denver would also be the 6th seed if the Jets defeat the Bills. If something would change, the players would know first and you all would know second. After the Chargers tied the game in regulation, the Raiders drove for a field goal on the first drive of the extra period. The Chiefs were perhaps one botched snap away from jumping into first place in the AFC West.
McManus has missed a kick in five consecutive games, and this one wasn’t even close.
“He’s trying to tackle the guy who’s still struggling”, said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. “So I’ll do whatever is best for the team come next week”. Cincinnati’s still the top scoring defense in the league at 17.5 points per game permitted.
It’s a remarkable turnaround when looking back at where the Broncos were after the first six games, undefeated at 6-0 and riding high, while the Chiefs were 1-5 at the same time and had just lost their all-time leading rusher, Jamaal Charles. McCarron, started off with authority, holding onto the ball for 21:14 of the first half.
The Cincinnati Bengals’ 20-17 loss to the Denver Broncos on Monday night was a costly one in more ways than one and now their Super Bowl dreams may have been shattered.
The Bad: The Bengals allowed Brock Osweiler to convert two of the Broncos’ four third downs in the game on the overtime drive that produced the game-winning points.
The 15-yard penalty was a key play on the drive that set up Brandon McManus’ 37-yard field goal that proved to be the game-winner.
Then there was Chris Harris, another UDFA who made a huge play of his own in between those two.
