The Broncos made Peyton Manning’s return to the starting lineup official on Thursday when they announced he would be at quarterback when the team opens their playoff schedule at home in the divisional round.

Coach Gary Kubiak framed the decision as doing what he thinks is best for the team on Thursday, saying he felt “really good” about how far Manning has come since injuring his foot and giving Brock Osweiler a chance to run with the starting job down the stretch in the regular season. Manning took over for Osweiler in the third quarter of Week 17 and the Broncos rallied for a win thanks in large part to 139 rushing yards and no turnovers once Manning took over.

“It’s hard to hear you’re not going to be the one playing,” Osweiler said, via the Denver Post. “It’s a little disappointing. However, I am a big team player. Woulda, coulda, shoulda — who knows? Peyton is going to start in the playoffs and that’s something I support.”

Kubiak said that Denver’s success this season has taken “all of us” during his press conference and Manning said it has been “a ‘we’ thing all season” for the Broncos, which serves as a reminder that Osweiler could still be back on the field before the Broncos season comes to an end.
