View Full Version : When a Game Goes Off-Script

DENVER -- Football isn't a drama or sitcom, nor is it the forced-narrative realm of "reality" television. It's completely unscripted, and the beauty of it and other sports is its ability to defy any expectation.

Rarely was a result more widely assumed than the one Sunday between the winless Jaguars and undefeated Broncos. Both of those descriptors still applied after Denver's 35-19 win, but the blowout expected by many onlookers never materialized.

This isn't college football. The worst and best teams aren't separated by scholarship discrepancies and massive funding disparities. Cupcakes only exist at the media-room buffet. And if you're just a bit off -- even with an offense in the midst of the best six-game start in NFL history -- you will be dragged into a brawl worthy of the Old West, or perhaps the broadcast news scene in 1970s San Diego.
