NFL Note - Denver Broncos Osweiler, Brock

Dec 15, 2017 - 8:30 AM QB Brock Osweiler threw for two touchdowns and ran for another to lead the Denver Broncos to a 25-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

Osweiler came into the game after starter Trevor Siemian left with what Broncos coach Vance Joseph called a left shoulder sprain after a sack in the first quarter.

"He played well," Joseph said of Osweiler. "He played with great poise. He played clean, smart football to get the win."

Osweiler completed 12 of 17 passes for 194 yards and the two TDs. He also ran for an 18-yard TD.

Osweiler said the play of C.J. Anderson and the offensive line opened things up for the passing game.

"Any time you can run the football with that kind of success, you are going to get man-to-man coverage outside," Osweiler said. "DT (Demaryius Thomas), Emmanuel (Sanders) and Cody (Latimer) can all take advantage of one-on-one coverage."

Osweiler credited offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave for calling the plays.

"There were no nerves but it takes about a series to warm up," Osweiler said. "The quarterbacks have all studied hard. You don't know who is going to be playing week to week."

Joseph didn't know the extent of Siemian's left should sprain and wouldn't commit to Brock Osweiler a week from Sunday against the Redskins.

"It's not up to me to decide but certainly I would love to be the starter of this football team," Osweiler said. "I take great pride in coming to work every day and trying to be a great teammate for these guys and being a Denver Bronco."
