Brock Osweiler has hardly played a quarter, and this is already the best game of his young career.
After not scoring a touchdown on 25 straight series, Osweiler has led the Broncos to three straight touchdowns, including this seven-yard rushing touchdown.

Not only was that Osweiler’s first rushing touchdown of his career, but it was the longest rushing touchdown from a Broncos quarterback in years.
Brock Osweiler's 7-yd TD run was the longest by a Broncos QB in 4 years (Tim Tebow, 9 yds, vs NE, 12/18/11).

That score put the Broncos up 20-7 (Brandon McManus missed the extra point) in a game that features a lot more points than most probably expected.
Later, Osweiler would find Demaryius Thomas for Denver’s fourth touchdown of the half, putting him in very rare company among great Broncos quarterbacks.
Broncos QB Brock Osweiler tonight became the 3rd player in team history to have 3+pass TDs and 1+rush TD in a game (Elway 2x, Manning 1x).
