The Silver Lining
If there was a silver lining from Sunday’s blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, it was that Broncos Country got at least a slight answer to the question of whether or not Brock Osweiler could come in and even adequately take snaps for Peyton Manning in the event of an injury. In four possessions, Osweiler proved he could do just that – even adding a bit of a spark to the Denver offense, as Ronnie Hillman suggested postgame.
But that wasn’t the only positive to extract from a disappointing day that saw Denver nearly shutout at home for the first time in franchise history. The defense, despite surrendering 29 points, played better than the final score would indicate. And a Broncos wide receiver quietly had a solid day while the rest of the offense struggled.
There was no shortage of nominees for “Duds” in this week’s edition of “Studs and Duds,” but Broncos fans don’t have to look too far to find a few “Studs” in Sunday’s loss, as well.
