The Broncos never led until Osweiler threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Bubba Caldwell with 1:09 left in regulation to put Denver ahead 24-21.

With Gronkowski lost to an injured knee, Brady moved the offence 51 yards in 69 seconds to set up Stephen Gostkowski’s 47-yard field goal and send the game to overtime. Manning patted receiver Emmanuel Sanders on the shoulder, and headed for a back exit – away from all of the television cameras and reporters who had gathered to talk to his teammates about their biggest win of the season, a 30-24 overtime victory against the previously undefeated New England Patriots.
Denver’s defense thwarted quarterback Tom Brady and the Patriots on the first overtime possession, and running back Anderson broke free from a couple of Patriot defenders for the 48-yard winning run.
Gronkowski has 57 catches for 931 yards and nine touchdowns in 11 games this season. Manning reportedly will be out for at least one or two more games and if Osweiler keeps playing well, there is a chance he could remain the starter for Gary Kubiak.
Last night’s primetime showdown between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots will go down as perhaps the best of the 2015 season yet.
If you were like a lot of football fans last night, you likely turned the television off when the Patriots scored to take a 21-7 lead.
Seahawks 39, Steelers 30: Quarterback Russell Wilson passed for a season-high 345 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Seattle Seahawks to a 39-30 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday. The Broncos’ early special teams play was abysmal.
He pulled cornerback Chris Harris into a big hug before peppering him with questions about the routes the Patriots were running, and what Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was saying on the field late in the game.
Tyrod Taylor had 291 yards passing and three touchdowns for Buffalo (5-6), but he was mostly held in check in the second half. “So, it’s so hard to see these guys get hurt like this”. We could tell in the things that he says week to week, how he prepares.
With that, New England lost its aura of invincibility – both on the field and on social media. I don’t think I’ve ever been so pissed off after a loss. “We had plenty of opportunities to win, and we’ll try to get back to work this week”. “I just think it’s a matter of us having an idea”.
For the third straight week, the Patriots were taken to the final play before the game was decided. “It was tough. But the bottom line is, D.T. made a huge play when we needed him most”. They will leave Denver, Colorado defeated in more ways than one.
