Stud No. 3 – First-half Brock Osweiler

Quarterback Brock Osweiler couldn’t have asked for a better first half. After a week of heavy criticism for his inability to lead the Broncos offense on touchdown drives (they had gone 23 possessions without scoring a six-point play), Osweiler led Denver to 27 points in the half via four touchdowns.

His stat line at the half was 14-of-18 for 214 yards with three touchdowns.

He joined John Elway and Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks in team history to pass for three touchdowns and run for one in a game. And he did it all in one half.

He finished just 2.5 points off of a perfect passer rating for the half with a 155.8 mark after 30 minutes of football. But unfortunately there was a whole other 30 minutes to play.
