NFL: Osweiler out: Broncos replace the quarterback again

The Denver Broncos season is over after the sixth consecutive crash in no man’s land – time to look to the future. The Broncos are now betting on the former first-round pick Paxton Lynch, who replaces Brock Osweiler after a short guest appearance.

This was reported by several media on Tuesday evening, including James Palmer of the NFL Network. So Osweiler is out after a total of four missions and three starts, the 26-year-old should not be in the squad on Sunday. Trevor Siemian, who lost his starting position to Osweiler a few weeks ago, will apparently be Lynch’s backup.

In his four games, Osweiler only brought 53 percent of the passes to the other player, had an average of six yards per pass and threw four interceptions on three touchdown passes. Denver’s offensive problems are deeper: The run game hasn’t worked for weeks, the offensive line is too vulnerable, especially in pass protection.

The bigger the task for Lynch will be. The first-round pick last year has so far been able to collect few arguments for itself and unexpectedly lost the internal duel to Siemian over the summer. Now, starting with the duel against a more than susceptible Raiders Defense, he will have the chance to be recommended as a starter for several weeks.

At the beginning of the week, the Broncos had already pulled a different offensive rip cord: offensive coordinator Mike McCoy was dismissed, his job will be taken over by the previous quarterback coach Bill Musgrave.
