The New England Patriots and Denver Broncos are matching up for Week 12 of the NFL schedule on Sunday night and the game is on TV from NBC at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The game starts at 8:30 pm ET and has Brock Osweiler set to start against Tom Brady with Peyton Manning out of action again.
The Patriots will be without Danny Amendola on Sunday night and that will put some pressure on Brandon LaFell on offense. LeGarrette Blount and James White will be the main two backs with Dion Lewis out for the season and the Pats also have been dealing with the Julian Edelman injury. Tom Brady has been having one of his best seasons and the Patriots will try and stay undefeated with a win on the road against the Broncos.
The classic Peyton Manning and Tom Brady matchup will not be in play with Manning injured and now Brock Osweiler will play against Brady for the first time. Brady hs 25 touchdowns and just four interceptions this season and he will be looking to keep his team undefeated with a victory. Rob Gronkowski comes in with 51 catches for 843 yards and eight touchdowns and he has been the most consistent option for Brady this season.

Osweiler had a strong game for the Broncos in his first time out against the Bears and he won that start and now he will try and make it two in a row. Oweriler was named AFC offensive player of the week and he will look to get Ronnie Hillman going again. Hillman had over 100 yards last week for the Broncos and he is leading the team in rushing and has been a better option for the team over CJ Anderson. Demaryius Thomas is having another solid season with 71 catches for 875 yards, but he has just two touchdowns so far this year.
The Broncos have a tough schedule to finish the season, as they have the Patriots before two divisional games against the Chargers and Raiders before a road matchup with the Steelers. the team ends the season with the Bengals and Chargers and the Broncos are hoping to stay in the division lead with hot Kansas City moving up in the standings.
