Trevor Siemian played about as bad as a quarterback could play over the last two weeks, so there's no reason to give the Broncos a downgrade for the switch. Brock Osweiler certainly isn't stepping into the situation cold, as he has familiarity with this receiving corps from his previous stint in Denver. Emmanuel Sanders has returned to practice and is questionable, and his return would help open things up. Zach Ertz has picked up an injury for the Eagles and is questionable, and his absence would be huge. If you think the Eagles are going to win in a blowout, imagine what the Broncos pass rush is going to do to the team's fill-in left tackle.
The Broncos rushed for 177 yards Monday night and they'll carry that identity into Sunday's game at the seemingly unstoppable Eagles. With Brock Osweiler leading a conservative offense and Denver's top-ranked defense doing its thing, the Broncos should be able to stay within the number.
Based on what we've seen lately from the Broncos, it's hard to see them keeping pace with explosive Eagles. Resist the temptation to take the points with a solid defensive team because Denver can't keep up on the scoreboard.
