Happy Birthday Brock Osweiler

It was a stellar day for Bronco's backup quarterback Brock Osweiler. On his 25th birthday he made his debut as an NFL quarterback scoring a touchdown on his first set of plays. He went on to beat the Bears 17-15 with his parents, wife and various relatives watching from the Soldier Field stands. Apparently he blew out the candles prior to today's game because it was all he could have wished for.

From da  Bears perspective, it was a lackluster game, ending their winning streak. Even Jay seemed genuinely disappointed.

Lunch, however, was no disappointment. Finding quite a bit of pork in the freezer, Chili Colorado seemed a perfect choice. Chile Colorado is a fairly mild pork stew that can be spiced to any level you'd like. Serve on tortillas with some shredded Chihuahua cheese.
