On Sunday Peyton Manning stayed in the game for the Broncos despite a 41-10 lead over the Raiders (in what would eventually become a 41-17 victory) and it made Brock Osweiler sad.
The Broncos backup quarterback was caught by cameras going to get his helmet before throwing his arms up at seeing Manning trot back on the field.
But he says now there's no hard feelings about it and it's "a good laugh" getting caught on camera.
"It's a good laugh now," Osweiler said. "There was just a little miscommunication, 'Am I going in? Am I not going in?' But no, there's absolutely no hard feelings or anything like that. We're all just having a good laugh. It's funny that it got caught on tape."
Broncos coach John Fox called the whole thing "kind of humorous," which is exactly the way to describe it.
"When the fourth quarter came and we did change sides of the field, Peyton actually jogged out there, and I was like, 'What is he doing?' but he was going to get [center] Will Montgomery so he could come over and take some snaps with Brock," Fox said. "... It wasn't earth-shattering. It was just kind of humorous."
Does anyone think there's any drama here? Because there's not. If Osweiler is upset, well, tough, guy. He's riding that pine until Peyton wants to come and sit down.
It's the blessing and curse of playing behind Manning.
