The pass play that became the Broncos' winning, 80-yard touchdown on the first play of overtime last weekend against Pittsburgh was a nice element to the Denver game plan.

Only it wasn't part of the game plan, offensive coordinator Mike McCoy said Wednesday. "We drew that up at halftime," he said.

The Broncos liked their chances with physical wide receiver Demaryius Thomas going one-on-one against a cornerback, in this case Ike Taylor, McCoy explained.

If mccoy would have read my posts in the game day thread he would have had it LONG before then.

How was that play not in the game plan? The read option fake has been our most effective pass play all year.

Are there not many variations of that, depending on what the other team is doing on defense?
