It started off as a shootout. Then,
- missed PAT on bad snap
- fumble by running back
- fumble by quarterback
- fumble by punt returner
The Denver Broncos committed multiple turnovers that led to an 18 point victory by the New England Patriots in Sports Authority Stadium in Denver.
Scott Zolak had it right in his pre-game comments. He predicted it was all about Brady & that Aaron Hernandez would have a big day. Both came true.
The Pats porous defense came up with huge turnovers that the offense converted into twenty-something unanswered points. Other than the first quarter where Denver scored 16 of its 23 points the Pats defense held their ground after an adjustment from a 4-3 to a 3-4 which contained Tebow well for the rest of the game.
Andre Carter will be a big loss on D if his leg injury requires surgery & he is out for the remaining 2 games & playoffs. Mark Cunningham turned in a great performance in place of Carter.
The Pats win the AFC East with their road win yesterday. For good measure the Jets lost & now need to be concerned about securing a wild card spot.
It's never dull with the Patriots. But we can look forward to playoff football in January.
