Sunday night was round 14 of the Peyton vs. Brady saga. Probably wasn’t the most exciting ending for the Broncos and Manning fans. The Broncos lost a heart breaker of a game, 34-31 in overtime.

The Denver Broncos went up big early against the Patriots last night. After three costly fumbles turned into a 17-0 lead, and another score made it 24-0, it was looking good for Denver at half time.

The first score of the game came from a Wesley Woodyard forced fumble on Stevan Ridley that was returned for a touchdown by Von Miller. The next series Miller forced a strip sack and the fumble was recovered by Terrance Knighton. A two yard run by Moreno capped of that short field possession.

The turnovers continued. LeGarrette Blount would commit the third fumble of the game, this time forced by Duke Ihenacho, and Matt Prater would turn another miscue into the Broncos third consecutive score. The last drive of the half ended in a touchdown reception by Jacob Tamme.

This is where things got ugly for the Broncos. Right before half time the Patriots would punt the ball to Denver. The punt was muffed by Trindon Holliday and recovered by New England. The Patriots wouldn’t score on the drive but it would create a domino effect that would linger throughout the game. Starting cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie would injure his shoulder, attempting to make a play on the final deep pass of the half. He would not return for the rest of the game.

The second half of the football game would be completely different. The Patriots would dominate the majority of the second half with a burst of 31 unanswered points.

New England started the second half with a very convincing drive that resulted in a Julian Edelman touchdown. The next drive by the Broncos would stall after a Montee Ball fumble and follow with a Patriots touchdown after Brandon Bolden scored on a one yard run...CONTINUE READING
