Get ready to “Brock n’ roll” Broncos fans!

For the first time since 2012, someone other than Peyton Manning is starting for your Denver Broncos this morning; Brock Osweiler.

For Osweiler, it’s an incredibly special day. Not only is it his first ever NFL start, but it’s also his 25th birthday, making him eligible to rent a car legally now.

For those about to Brock, we salute you.

And, fans are hoping their Broncos are saluting each other many times in the end zone today.

It’s a huge day — Osweiler looks to buck the trend of Broncos first-time starting quarterbacks — as one can see by the team documenting what his locker looked like pre-game.

And after Pat Bowlen’s Ring of Fame induction ceremony at the beginning of this month, everyone saw how closely connected the Denver Broncos organization remains. There will likely be many former Broncos watching Osweiler in the spotlight today on a cold Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears, one who spoke up on Twitter was Byron Chamberlain.

Always remember, just because you haven't played doesn't mean you can't play. Looking for a big game from Brock. pic.twitter.com/CbWZHLppV0

What if Osweiler has a huge game today, on his 25th birthday, in his first start? It seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened. He’ll have help from fellow former backup Cody Latimer, who will get the start due to Emmanuel Sanders not playing today.
