The Patriots missed several key passers in Sunday’s game which led to their first National Football League defeat this season. The Broncos defeated the Patriots 30-24.

– a 48-yard touchdown run by C.J. Anderson about 2 1/2 minutes into overtime, his second score of the game, to help Osweiler improve to 2-0 and the Broncos get to 9-2. Reports have Manning out for multiple games and he could be ready to come back in Week 15, but no official date has been set for Manning to return.
So, they have to protect the passer better in San Diego this weekend.
And yes, Manning is happy for Osweiler, the quarterback he helped mentor the previous 3 ½ years.
“That’s way too many”, Kubiak said. Has the down time caused Manning to reflect on his football mortality?
By being on the list, Johnson can’t resume practice for six weeks and can’t play in a game for eight weeks. And everybody says, ‘Well, when did he say you’re going to get better?’ When it heals. “That’s what he’s doing right now, and the next step will be when that comes off for good”.
And that means he’s not thinking about the status of the quarterback position and whether he or Brock Osweiler will play if he can fully recover from the foot injury. Osweiler said. “All I know is I’m the starter this week against the Chargers”. “I told them once they took the cast off (Monday night) they were going to put another cast back on”.
ENGLEWOOD | This is Brock Osweiler’s team – for now, at least.
Gronkowski has 57 catches for 931 yards and nine touchdowns in 11 games this season.
Before the season started, no one would’ve ever believed Osweiler would be capable of such a feat.
“I don’t really have one”, Kubiak said. Your findings may vary and Reiss’s conclusions aren’t likely to convince anyone that the tight end is or is not being treated unfairly, but it surely will be something that people will watch closely once Gronk makes it back on the field. And I think everyone felt the same way. He’s very comfortable in his preparation, his work and obviously he’s confident in his abilities.
With Manning still in a walking boot this week and facing more arduous rehab, Kubiak said rookie Trevor Siemian remains Osweiler’s backup a week after Christian Ponder was signed as insurance.

“I didn’t know anything about that”, the coach said. “We didn’t get many [calls] last night”. “There’s things across the board that we need to do a better job of and we can do a better job of”. The coach was asked about that as well, but he didn’t want to get into it.
