Brock Osweiler, who has gone 3-1 in Manning’s place will start.

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Broke Box Office Records Last Night
While spoilers will not be given out, the film was full of surprises while paying homage to both trilogies that came before it. Greenfield said the success of “Force Awakens” would not be enough to offset the impact of subscriber losses at ESPN.
Peyton Manning’s left foot was sore Friday so he didn’t practice after running the Denver Broncos’ scout team for two days.
House Approves .1 Trillion Spending Bill
The deal marks a major achievement for new Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who delivered 150 Republican votes for the spending bill. Under a plan worked out in bipartisan negotiations, the legislation would be combined and voted on in the Senate the same day.
Manning was the Broncos’ quarterback through the first nine games.
DNC Sanctions Sanders Campaign For Accessing Clinton’s Voter Data
Bernie Sanders has filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to regain access to a Democratic National Committee voter database. We will continue to work with and report to the DNC regarding this issue to ensure that this isolated incident does not recur.
The Broncos visit the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, and there’s a very good chance it’s the last we see of Osweiler if things go badly again. It seems unfair and nearly cruel for him to be healthy and on the bench for what could be the final playoff run of his career – and nearly certainly his last in Denver.
“That’s what we’re trying to get done this week, and we’ll just [move] a day at a time; but that’s the plan the rest of this week”, said Gary Kubiak, Denver Broncos head coach.
Osweiler is coming off his first loss, to Oakland at home, even though he completed a career-best 35 throws and posted his first 300-yard passing game.
Two weeks ago Manning said Anderson had no answers for him when he asked how long he’d be sidelined or when he might be able to return.
Meanwhile, Archie Manning told WDSU-TV in New Orleans that his son’s foot has been bothering him “five or six months”. They settled for four field goals Sunday when they wasted an historical effort by the league’s top defense – holding the Raiders to minus-12 yards in the first half – in losing 15-12.
And really, don’t we all want to see Manning go out on his own terms?
This is why Osweiler’s time to be the Broncos’ bona fide starting quarterback, one who can feel confident in his ownership of the role, may have to wait until next season.
Osweiler has higher numbers than Manning, however not overwhelmingly so anyplace save interception price.
Right or wrong, a decision to put Osweiler back on the bench would leave a lot of fans bitter and likely harping every single poor throw Manning would make from there on out.

The Broncos are two video games up on the Chiefs with three to play, so it’s in all probability exclusively their December 28 recreation towards the equally 10-Three Bengals that may matter earlier than the postseason. We know that we have a great challenge ahead of us.
