As teammates headed to the shower, Peyton Manning stopped them one by one.

“I’d love for it [the foot] to be healthy yesterday, I can assure you”. “But this cast is kind of like a holding pattern”. Everybody asks, ‘Is it better? But there’s no guarantee whatsoever.
After traveling to Charlotte, N.C., to meet with Dr. Robert Anderson, Manning was placed in the walking cast. He said I have an injured foot. We compiled the most egregious for you on Monday and, suffice it to say, Patriots nation has a legitimate beef on at least two of these calls. “Either you are or you aren’t”, Manning said. “We’ll just take it a day at a time right now”.
That’s how Osweiler and coach Gary Kubiak characterized Osweiler’s starting status Wednesday amid rampant speculation that the Broncos should stick with the longtime backup with the offense humming along with big wins over Chicago and New England.
Since losing Manning due to this injury, Brock Osweiler has taken the reigns under center and hasn’t done poorly, leading the Broncos to two straight wins.
“You know, I’m not really focused with how long am I going to be the starter?”. He started pointing out some things to me about some of the things that he felt good about, and he was echoing that to Brock. “I’ve always wanted to meet “they” and “sources, ‘ because both seem to know a lot”.
Cleveland’s Travis Coons lined up to kick a potential game-winning 51-yard field goal with 3 seconds to go, but it was deflected by defensive end Brent Urban, who was playing his first National Football League game for the injury-riddled Ravens (4-7).
Osweiler hit Demaryius Thomas for 36 yards and Emmanuel Sanders for 39 on the go-ahead touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter, the kinds of throws that have become few and far between for Manning, whose last game featured just five completions and four interceptions before he was yanked.
With rumors swirling that the Broncos are trying very hard to move on from Peyton Manning, does the fact that the team is actively looking for quarterbacks validate that rumor?
The Broncos are 2-0 in Osweiler’s starts, and the Broncos are now able to open up Kubiak’s playbook, with its assortments of bootlegs and play-action passes. Bailey and another man were shot while sitting in a vehicle in the Miami area, police said.
“We try to do everything we can to help [the media] out”, Belichick said.

He’ll let everyone one else speculate about his football mortality, though. I don’t think I’ve ever been so pissed off after a loss.
