It is week seven of the NFL season, but this Denver Broncos game was circled by fans, teammates and Houston Texans alike before the year began.

Brock Osweiler returns to place of origin where he faces the Denver Broncos for the first time since leaving the Mile High City. As we all know, the Broncos do plenty of talking and also the play to back up their talk, but against the Houston Texans next Monday, this game means more.

The Broncos recent two-game losing streak is no place to panic as their defense appears ready to welcome Osweiler back after meeting with the media today.

Much like Seattle Seahawks personality from 2013-2014, the Broncos continue to prove statements right in its play. This identity starts and ends with the defense. Every player on the No Fly Zone and the Orange Rush will shut up the doubter after every statement.

It is early in the week and Broncos’ players made it known the importance of Brock’s return to Denver. Shane Ray stated to media Osweiler does not appear comfortable this year than in Gary Kubiak’s offense last season.

News broke this weekend Osweiler and head coach Bill O’Brien are at odds over the play calling. However it hit stride midway into the fourth quarter and overtime. The Indianapolis Colts do not have skilled defensive players like the Broncos, but they limited Texans’ offense for most of the game. This coming Monday, Broncos need to exploit the weaknesses of Osweiler.

One of Osweiler’s many tendencies is to hold on to the ball too long. Sylvester Williams gave another underlying shot at the ex-Broncos quarterback.

“We know that Brock likes to hold the ball so I feel that we can get a lot of good pressure on him. Just watching their offense, I think this can be a great week for us, I can say that,” Williams on Osweiler holding ball too long.

Osweiler forces throws too much to wide receivers creating many turnovers for a defense. Chris Harris Jr. stated the same idea in his press conference today.

“He’s throwing it everywhere and he’s also forcing a lot of throws so there’s a lot of opportunities to get picks,” Harris on Osweiler.

Harris’s stance is more matchup related than his teammates Ray and now Brandon Marshall. Marshall stated in video tweet from Lionel Bienvenu, team had no ill will to Osweiler.

Marshall’s body language says the opposite for Osweiler, which surprises no one. The Broncos prove better than any in the NFL they can back it up in superior play on the field. With Denver’s history on defense, the team will be prepared after the mini bye-week to hunt Brock.
