Is it time for Broncos to bench Manning for Osweiler?
Peyton Manning is showing his age, but going to Brock Osweiler would be a bit drastic.
Peyton Manning completed 22 of 35 passes for 266 yards in a 16-10 Broncos win over the Raiders on Sunday.
The legendary quarterback did not throw a touchdown pass, though, and was picked off twice.
For the season, Manning has tossed six touchdown passes and seven picks.
This prompted one reporter on Monday to ask Denver head coach Gary Kubiak if it was time to move on from the 39-year-old signal-caller.
Gary Kubiak asked if it is time to play Brock Osweiler. "No. Peyton is doing just fine."
While Manning is obviously showing his age, the reporter might be a little unfamiliar with the standings. The Broncos are 5-0.
ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile Internet, today announced that ZTE and the Guangdong branch of China Mobile have completed the first 2.6GHz NR test in Guangzhou 5G field trial. It is the first time that 2.6GHz NR equipment is adopted in such a field trial and passed the test successfully and smoothly.
ZTE is the first vendor conducting the 2.6GHz NR test. This test adopts ZTE’s full series of end-to-end solutions, including 5G high-performance base stations, core networks, and the latest devices.
The test results show that at 100MHz bandwidth, the single user downlink peak rate is stable at 1.8Gbps, and the extreme distance is up to 3 kilometers.
The 2.6GHz NR test jointly conducted by ZTE and China Mobile is fully based on the 3GPP R15 compliant field trial. In accordance with China Mobile’s test specifications, the test has verified the fundamental performance items of the SA networking, including SA access performance and SA single user rate.
Due to the complexity of the test environment, ZTE and China Mobile need to consider the complex frequency solution and the guarantee of the existing network when they complete the 2.6G test, lest that they cause any impact to the users.
China Mobile plays an important role in promoting 5G standardization, industrialization and commercialization. ZTE and China Mobile have long-term and comprehensive cooperation in the 5G field.
In 2016, ZTE joined the China Mobile 5G Joint Innovation Center, and both sides jointly developed Pre5G Massive MIMO, which has been commercialized now.
In 2017, ZTE and China Mobile initiated the Guangdong 5G field trial. The progress of the field trial has always been at the forefront of the industry. It not only features large scale and diverse scenarios, but also made multiple industry-leading achievements in China and in the world at large.
In early December 2018, ZTE, China Mobile and Qualcomm completed the world’s first 2.6GHz NR IoDT in compliance with 3GPP R15.

The White House vowed Tuesday to appeal a ruling by a conservative federal judge in southern Texas that blocked President Obama's controversial executive actions on immigration.
"The Supreme Court and Congress have made clear that the federal government can set priorities in enforcing our immigration laws — which is exactly what the President did when he announced commonsense policies to help fix our broken immigration system," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Tuesday in a statement.
"The district court's decision wrongly prevents these lawful, commonsense policies from taking effect and the Department of Justice has indicated that it will appeal that decision," he added.
Late Monday, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen temporarily put on hold Obama's executive orders that aimed to prevent about 5 million people in the U.S. illegally from being deported.
The hold effectively provided a coalition of 26 mostly conservative states, whose top lawyers had come together to challenge the actions, more time to pursue their lawsuit to permanently stop Obama's measures.
The first of Obama's orders — to expand a program that protects young immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. illegally as children — was set to start taking effect Wednesday. The other major part of Obama's order, which extends deportation protections to parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have been in the country for some years, was not expected to begin until May 19.
Despite the pledge to appeal, the Homeland Security Department on Tuesday said it would cease preparations for the programs. Agency Secretary Jeh Johnson said U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services would immediately stop working on plans to launch a program to protect parents of U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents from deportation until further notice.
The surprise ruling, handed down late Monday night, prompted a wave a strongly worded reactions from lawmakers, mostly divided along party lines.
House Speaker John Boehner reiterated his long-held belief that Obama never possessed the legal authority as President to issue the actions in the first place.
"The President said 22 times he did not have the authority to take the very action on immigration he eventually did, so it is no surprise that at least one court has agreed," Boehner said Tuesday.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte praised the ruling, calling Obama's orders an "executive overreach" that "poses a clear and present danger to our constitution."
"We cannot allow one man to nullify the law of the land with either a stroke of his pen or a phone call," the Virginia Republican said.
But Democrats, predictably, pressed the White House to continue its fight for the immigration actions, regardless of the ruling.
"We may be delayed, but we will not be deterred," Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.), an outspoken immigration reform advocate, said. "I am telling immigrant communities to keep preparing to sign up millions of families for protection from deportation."
