Brock Osweiler's playoff fortunes have gone from great to bad to even worse.
Peyton Manning seized his starting gig back from the Denver Broncos' reserve after two quarters. And now, Osweiler's injured knee might prevent him from any sort of playoff appearance.

Rookie Trevor Siemian would assume primary back-up duties if Oswieler were shelved.
