How waiting behind Peyton Manning set stage for 'Brocktober' reunion
DAVIE, Fla. -- Brock Osweiler waited 58 games for the three hours of adrenaline he felt on Sunday.
Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase was a vital part of the Denver Broncos staff that drafted Osweiler to be their eventual franchise quarterback -- whenever Peyton Manning decided to retire.
Osweiler watched as Gase schemed up an offense that allowed Manning to break NFL records. He privately wished he could be in that spot, but he knew the situation. He had a Hall of Famer in front of him and he had to wait his turn.
“A lot of waiting,” Osweiler said. “I heard a lot of playcalls come in through that earpiece that weren’t coming in for me.”
