The Denver Broncos and the Chicago Bears will face off on Sunday in Week 11 of the NFL 2015 regular season as the Broncos look to get their season back on track following two straight defeats. Today they travel on the road to a Chicago Bears team needing the win just to get back to .500 and they will have been encouraged by the Broncos sudden struggles. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and takes place from Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Broncos, after getting off to a 7-0 start to the season, have now slipped to 7-2, and if they lose again today it will be the first time they have lost three straight for four seasons.
An added twist for today's game is that they face their former coach, and they will have to do it without their star quarterback Peyton Manning, who has been sidelined for this week.
That opens the way for Brock Osweiler to make his first career start today, and responsibility will be given to him to get the Broncos back on track.
But it will not be easy as this is a Bears team making good strides forward and improving as the season moves on.
A lot of the talk surrounding the Broncos over recent weeks has been the massive slide in form of Peyton Manning. Last week he was benched after throwing four interceptions in their 29-13 loss to Kansas City. However, since then the Broncos have announced what everyone had suspected, that Manning had a serious injury. It appears as though Manning has a torn Plantar Fascia in his right foot, and that has sparked the decision to hand things over to Osweiler for today's game.
Earlier this week in the NFL the Tennessee Titans took on the Jacksonville Jaguars on NFL Thursday Night Football. A tight game that went back and forth ended with the Jaguars claiming an important 19-13 victory over their rivals.
The climax of the game came when Rashad Greene returned a 63 yard punt to set the stage for Blake Bortles 5 yard touchdown pass to Julius Thomas with just 3:30 remaining on the clock.
That result means that the Jaguars managed to win two straight games for the first time in more than two years, and allows them to gain some traction in a mixed up AFC South division. The second win in a row moves them to 4-6, and only just marginally behind the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans, who are both on 4-5 coming into Week 11.
The loss for the Tennessee Titans leaves them in the basement of the AFC South on 2-8, and now in desperate need of a string of wins to get them back into contention. However, most see them as irrelevant now, especially considering that they've lost eight of their last nine games.
It will be a tough loss for the Titans as they had looked like they would snatch the win for large portions of the game, but they could not hang on and when Greene stormed away down the near sideline before finally getting brought down at the 5, Bortles and Thomas took care of the rest to get the Jaguars' noses in front 16-13 and they never looked back.
