All I know is that they were hoping this would be a win with Manning, not expecting - hoping. So, Brock should have less pressure on this one, as long as he looks good and they move the ball - he can survive a loss here.
However, if he plays 'good' and the Broncos can win, then it's his job to lose at that point, no matter how healthy Manning is in a few weeks. If they can pull out a win with Brock looking like he did last week, that's going to carry a lot of momentum and give him some confidence and breathing room.
