DENVER – It’s not often a team gets to face their former quarterback and because of that it wasn’t necessarily known who would benefit more from the familiarity between the quarterback and former defense. On Monday night, the Denver Broncos gave a resounding answer in the 27-9 victory over the Houston Texans.
Brock Osweiler, the Broncos starting quarterback for seven games last season and the current Texans quarterback, had a historically bad game against his former team. Osweiler was only able to manage 131 yards passing despite having 41 attempts. The Broncos said the success against their former signal caller started far before they even took the field.
