There’s nothing Cinderella about the Denver Broncos.
But this Broncos team seems to defy expectations – especially in this pass-centric day and age. There would be a couple future Hall of Fame pass catchers in Rob Gronkowski and Larry Fitzgerald, and plenty of other stars on each offense.
With a 27-20 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional playoffs, New England had a much easier time winning than the score might indicate. Because the gap between the two signal callers is so great, the Patriots are three-point road favorites in Denver. “Yeah we won the football game, but there are some things we have to go back and fix and do better with”.
[Denver Post] Tickets for the AFC championship game between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots game will go sale to the general public at noon Monday, the Broncos announced Sunday.
This one turned when Broncos cornerback Bradley Roby punched the ball out of Pittsburgh running back Fitz Toussaint’s hands with 9:52 left.
On Sunday, Denver’s NFL-best defense kept things close until Manning could deliver his 55th comeback in crunch time. The NFL season has been below average, but always gets better in the playoffs. “You don’t want to put yourself in bad situations”. “You just know that we’re going to come through”. This 2015 Denver defense has to rank near the top. It has been enough to get them this far. The story of this game will be centered around Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. More than four players for the Broncos had drops this past Sunday which forced the offense to settle for field goals on five of their possessions. Facing a critical 3rd and 12 on their own side of the field, Manning hit Bennie Fowler across the middle, and the receiver shook off a tackle to make a 31-yard gain. But if they are as butterfingered as they were Sunday, the Broncos might not have any second chances late.
Bryant had nine catches for 154 yards, including a long of 52, and also had two runs covering 40 yards. Its our home and we need to be there and be loud.
When they asked Peck what section she and her father would be in, she said they didn’t have any yet. In the Week 12 win over New England, Wolfe and Walker had sacks from the inside. Please throw a 15-yard penalty on him. And they said that he did not cost them that game, though certainly his play turned the tables in that game.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Every team in the second round of the National Football League playoffs learned some lessons about themselves.
Peyton Manning did not hold up his end of the deal. I told Emmanuel just to kind of be alert in case I fall down, get back up to be uncovered. And as was the case throughout the regular season, lingering deficits didn’t faze the Broncos, who stayed the course and notched their eighth comeback win of the season.
