Denver is nearly certain to make the playoffs, with a three-game lead over the Chiefs atop the AFC West with six games remaining. With that said, I have one basic question for you; what do you freakin’ think you’re doing? “We need to be more focused coming out of the blocks”. Langford’s touchdown run with 0:24 left in the game would have won the game for the Bears had Fox chose to let Gould kick his fourth field goal of the game.

Osweiler was composed all weekend – from when he spoke to the team during its Saturday night meeting at a downtown Chicago hotel to the first series, when he guided the Broncos to a touchdown in just four plays.
And the fact that Osweiler and Manning have worked together since Osweiler was selected in the 2012, just weeks after Manning had signed with the team, means every player in the Broncos’ locker room has seen the two quarterbacks interact on a daily basis.
The Bears (4-6) drove to the Denver 4 after Latimer’s touchdown, only to have Jay Cutler’s fourth-down pass to Langford in a crowd in the end zone get broken up.
CASE’S HEAD CASE: The National Football League is investigating why its neutral “eye in the sky” medical spotter in the press box did not immediately stop play and have St. Louis QB Case Keenum pulled late in Sunday’s game at Baltimore, after the back of Keenum’s head smacked hard off the turf.
The Broncos had a chance to add to a four-point lead after Danny Trevathan returned an interception to the Chicago 25 midway through the third quarter, only to come away empty-handed. “They have good team speed”.
“I think we didn’t execute on certain plays”. Osweiler rolled out, used the play-action, found open receivers on underneath routes and kept the Bears off-balance.
NOTES: Bears RB Ka’Deem Carey exited in the third quarter with a concussion after a helmet-to-helmet hit from Denver’s T.J. Ward…. The Bears tallied five sacks from a variety of sources, including both safeties, Adrian Amos and Chris Prosinski. The first half closed with a field goal drive by the Broncos behind Osweiler. It had been kind of a field goal game.
In Brock Osweiler’s starting debut for the Denver Broncos, he was roughed up by the Bears but still managed to torch them for 250 yards passing and two touchdowns Sunday. That allowed the defense to win the game. The previous quarterbacks are 14-39 in those games.
One negative is he holds the ball too long – not surprising for a guy who has rarely been under center at the pro level.
“Our margin for error isn’t that great”.
“For there to be any rumors or anything he said that his mind-set is anywhere other than getting healthy and helping this football team, I can tell you is totally false”, Kubiak said.
