Despite being a fourth-year NFL veteran, Brock Osweiler is still an unknown. The Broncos' 17-15 victory at Chicago last Sunday was his first regular-season start and only his 16th start in both college and the pros combined.
As Jake Plummer described, he's essentially a four-year redshirt quarterback.
But Osweiler showed some of what he could do Sunday. He showed that he fits Gary Kubiak's zone-blocking offense. And he showed that he can, despite little experience, lead an NFL team to victory.
This Sunday, against Tom Brady and the Patriots, Osweiler will be asked to show it again as he starts for the second consecutive game while Peyton Manning continues to recover from foot and rib injuries.
