Broncos vs. Patriots, Week 12: Live coverage
It’s Manning versus Brady ... and a whole bunch of other players on a blustery New England night. The Patriots host the Broncos in a game with implications for the AFC playoff race. Join former NFL defensive end Stephen White and the rest of the SB Nation NFL panel for live coverage and analysis.
“Denver determined to make next week for all the marbles, did what was necessary to stay even with 9-2 Chiefs”
pjlawrence81 [12:26 AM]:
I would advise Tony Carter to stay off Twitter for a couple of days. People love to say racist things and send death threats, cuz, y’know, sports are the most important thing in life forever and always or something.
Charlie Gebow [12:25 AM]:
@King in Canada Until they lose next week, anyway
King in Canada [12:25 AM]:
well KC fans will be less depressed now
eightyseven [12:25 AM]:
Quick help a writer out and brainstorm puntastic headlines.
Matthew Kenerly [12:24 AM]:
Poor effort there by Osweiler. Doesn’t move, just jumps.
jpoundr [12:23 AM]:
Have a good week of hot sports takes, everyone.
eightyseven [12:23 AM]:
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Matthew Kenerly [12:22 AM]:
@pjlawrence81 Excuse me, then… “Block” Osweiler. Trademark of matthew_k
Mark Ennis [12:22 AM]:
Defrosting the kicker.
— Kyle Bonagura (@KyleBonagura) November 25, 2013
Charlie Gebow [12:21 AM]:
Me as a Broncos fan the whole second half: 
pjlawrence81 [12:21 AM]:
@matthew_k Chris Berman and Dan Patrick and some other wanna-be comedian at ESPN will do it for us.
Matthew Kenerly [12:20 AM]:
If Osweiler blocks the kick, do we call him “Block” Osweiler for eternity?
Clay Wendler [12:20 AM]:
Charlie Gebow [12:19 AM]:
Let the Osweiling commence
Mark Ennis [12:19 AM]:
Osweiler out there to block the field goal!!
eightyseven [12:19 AM]:
Lol @ auspice
eightyseven [12:18 AM]:
Hey look I don’t have that Welker Old auspice ad anymore.
Ryan Nanni [12:18 AM]:
“Almost unmissable field goal range.” Oh, don’t tempt it, Al.
Raymie Humbert [12:17 AM]:
Broncos need a big turn of fortune or some sort of blitz
Stephen White [12:17 AM]:
just kick the damn thing
eightyseven [12:17 AM]:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
joshvc [12:16 AM]:
And suddenly a UCF Special Teams moment.
Brendan O’Neil [12:16 AM]:
PATRIOTS BALL
Mark Ennis [12:16 AM]:
That should do it,.
Charlie Gebow [12:16 AM]:
AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH
jpoundr [12:16 AM]:
What a perfect ending.
Stephen White [12:16 AM]:
Welp, gnite
Matthew Kenerly [12:16 AM]:
wat
Ryan Nanni [12:16 AM]:
Dear Boss: I’m going to be useless tomorrow.
Mark Ennis [12:15 AM]:
For those who are asking if there have been two ties in a week before, it's happened often but not since 9/23/73.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) November 25, 2013
Stephen White [12:15 AM]:
Von Miller again
jpoundr [12:15 AM]:
@Clefo just Belichick
pjlawrence81 [12:14 AM]:
@Clefo It’s amazing how players still don’t know that.
Charlie Gebow [12:13 AM]:
So if this does tie, how many players in this game will not be aware of that possibility despite it happening earlier?
eightyseven [12:11 AM]:
Oh wait nvm he’s back phew
jpoundr [12:11 AM]:
Take a good look at Collins. He may be the last NFL player from Southern Miss for a long time.
eightyseven [12:10 AM]:
Did TALIB get hurt during a Moreno run? F me.
jpoundr [12:09 AM]:
Most tie games are just disasters. This one is more reminiscent of Steelers-Falcons from 2002
Ryan Van Bibber [12:09 AM]:
@Mark Ennis it’s been replaced with a giant hockey puck
Mark Ennis [12:08 AM]:
Lord have mercy that throw
Mark Ennis [12:08 AM]:
What in the world is going on in this game? Is the ball frozen solid?
eightyseven [12:07 AM]:
Crisco field?
jpoundr [12:07 AM]:
hahaha why not
ajkst1 [12:07 AM]:
@Run Home Jack I feel like that can’t possibly be real.
pjlawrence81 [12:07 AM]:
Talib’s out? Yikes, NE.
Ryan Nanni [12:07 AM]:
The wind is impacting Moreno's runs. Big time
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) November 25, 2013
ajkst1 [12:07 AM]:
I’M CONFUSED WHERE IS MY FIELD GOAL RANGE LINE?
pjlawrence81 [12:06 AM]:
I remember when that guy was called Know-show Moreno. Those were good times.
jpoundr [12:06 AM]:
You can still cramp when its this cold, right?
Brendan O’Neil [12:05 AM]:
Moreno dominating yards over Denver
Charlie Gebow [12:05 AM]:
@Mark Ennis Hawt
eightyseven [12:05 AM]:
@pjlawrence81 just wants his hot chocolate with 5 marshmallows
Mark Ennis [12:05 AM]:
If this game ends in a tie, Manning and Brady have to kiss.
Ryan Nanni [12:04 AM]:
It feels like Jack Del Rio is aging at rapid speed.
Stephen White [12:04 AM]:
Two bills for Moreno
pjlawrence81 [12:04 AM]:
Peyton looks like he’s freezing to death. He just wants this game to end.
Mark Ennis [12:04 AM]:
If Weeden ever screamed at a ref how Brady did the ref would flag him and say, 'Woah, dude, I looked up to you when I was in middle school'
— Zac Jackson (@FSOhioZJackson) November 25, 2013
Brendan O’Neil [12:03 AM]:
Jammer got the good ole “Watt” look
pjlawrence81 [12:02 AM]:
Pats fans will have another call to complain about if they lose this game. And rightfully so.
Stephen White [12:02 AM]:
Damn what happened to Jammer?
Brendan O’Neil [12:02 AM]:
Throw was a prayer but previous play should have been called
Clay Wendler [12:01 AM]:
wtf was that throw
joshvc [12:01 AM]:
@sgw94 Would a non-superstar role player be allowed to scream at a ref like that?
Raymie Humbert [12:01 AM]:
No, not in Phoenix
Charlie Gebow [12:00 AM]:
Um, did anyone else’s feed just wig out and repeat Brady-angry-face?
Raymie Humbert [12:00 AM]:
Monday Morning Football (out East)!
Stephen White [12:00 AM]:
Stop whining
eightyseven [12:00 AM]:
No flag? No? Okay.
Charlie Gebow [11:59 PM]:
Brady mad
Ryan Van Bibber [11:59 PM]:
NO WAY
Mark Ennis [11:59 PM]:
Peyton Manning doesn’t look the least bit interested in going back into the game.
Clay Wendler [11:59 PM]:
Mark Ennis [11:57 PM]:
SWALLOWED UP
jpoundr [11:57 PM]:
Great, now Marvin Lewis will take the wind in the playoffs in a dome.
Ryan Nanni [11:56 PM]:
Colquitt doing work at least.
Mark Ennis [11:56 PM]:
Too bad Talib isn’t a Schiano man.
Stephen White [11:55 PM]:
They picked each other lol
jpoundr [11:55 PM]:
Finally, the Patriots get a call. That never happens.
Ryan Nanni [11:55 PM]:
You have to take this penalty, right?
eightyseven [11:53 PM]:
I CAN’T SIT RIGHT NOW.
Stephen White [11:52 PM]:
Moreno might hit two bills
jpoundr [11:52 PM]:
Too bad the wind can’t stop Moreno
Ryan Nanni [11:52 PM]:
It’s gonna be great if Denver just runs the ball down the field. “HOW’S THE WIND NOW, BILL?”
joshvc [11:51 PM]:
@Clay Wendler Yeah, but the wind blew that out of the endzone too
Clay Wendler [11:48 PM]:
Peyton Manning farts in Bill Belichick’s general direction
eightyseven [11:48 PM]:
Wtf Belichik
Charlie Gebow [11:48 PM]:
The Belichick-Mornhinweg Venn diagram has an overlap!
Stephen White [11:48 PM]:
Wrong move Bill. Never give the sheriff the ball first
jpoundr [11:47 PM]:
Sorry, East Coast sports writers. Write 800 words on how cold it is, I guess.
Ryan Nanni [11:47 PM]:
SB Nation pays overtime, right?
Stephen White [11:46 PM]:
Free football. Great
Mark Ennis [11:46 PM]:
[holds up 5 fingers] #Broncos
— Peter Burns (@PeterBurnsRadio) November 25, 2013
pjlawrence81 [11:45 PM]:
OT.
Charlie Gebow [11:45 PM]:
Rahim Moore is out for this game, but I’m getting bad flashbacks
Stephen White [11:44 PM]:
Thomas probably shouldve caught that one
Mark Ennis [11:44 PM]:
So you wanna be a columnist: Score 31-31. 1:45 remaining in 4Q. 800 words due for deadline in 19 minutes. Go.
— Mark Kiszla (@markkiszla) November 25, 2013
eightyseven [11:42 PM]:
@Brendan Porath Beats Pitbull, for real.
Matthew Kenerly [11:42 PM]:
Remember when Knowshon Moreno was playing his way out of the league? Football is weird.
Charlie Gebow [11:41 PM]:
TIME FOR A NARRATIVE TO SHAPE
jpoundr [11:40 PM]:
It seems like Welker, Edelman, and Amendola have had very few YAC tonight.
Clay Wendler [11:40 PM]:
payaton pick six plz
pjlawrence81 [11:40 PM]:
SO DEN runs the ball, kills clock, go for a FG in the final secs.?
Ryan Nanni [11:39 PM]:
I’m gonna laugh my ass off if Welker drops this punt.
Stephen White [11:39 PM]:
Von Miller playing out of his mind right now
Brendan Porath [11:39 PM]:
@eightyseven But commercials allow NBC to use Mighty Mighty Bosstones to play us back from break
Stephen White [11:37 PM]:
Helluva second half drive chart for the Patriots
eightyseven [11:37 PM]:
I hate commercials can’t I just fast forward this like everything else I watch.
Ryan Nanni [11:36 PM]:
Rushing four doesn’t look like it’s getting any pressure for Denver.
Clay Wendler [11:35 PM]:
Mark Ennis [11:35 PM]:
Shoutout to all the writers who've had to write 3 different columns already for tonight's #Broncos #Patriots game.
— Peter Burns (@PeterBurnsRadio) November 25, 2013
IsItFallYet? [11:32 PM]:
Decker is getting open a lot, I’m wondering if Peyton is doubting whether he can get it to him…
Charlie Gebow [11:32 PM]:
Now it’s up to the Broncos defense to stop something in some peyote fueled nightmare
jpoundr [11:32 PM]:
So this is fun.
Mark Ennis [11:31 PM]:
What a freaking drive.
Stephen White [11:31 PM]:
Got em coach. Lotta time left tho
eightyseven [11:31 PM]:
@Ryan Van Bibber It’s either that or he’s Asian drunk rosy.
Stephen White [11:31 PM]:
definitely a PI
Ryan Nanni [11:31 PM]:
Gerry Austin thinks that was uncatchable.
Mark Ennis [11:30 PM]:
Oh yeah, he had his hands wrapped around his waist.
Stephen White [11:30 PM]:
big flag
Ryan Van Bibber [11:29 PM]:
everybody jumped on those Peyton/weather jokes too quick
eightyseven [11:29 PM]:
Peyton looks so sunburnt rn
Mark Ennis [11:29 PM]:
Peyton looks like he just went skiing
— Lana Berry (@Lana) November 25, 2013
IsItFallYet? [11:29 PM]:
So, why don’t they have little EZ bake ovens for the QBs to stick their hands in when they’re on the sidelines during games like this? WRs and TEs could use it a too… a warming trough, if you will.
Ryan Nanni [11:29 PM]:
Dangit, really wanted to see Peyton on his giddyup.
Matthew Kenerly [11:28 PM]:
@jpoundr Not a Pats fan, but I’m always pleased 40% of their o-line is from Fresno State
eightyseven [11:28 PM]:
Dat pass
Clay Wendler [11:27 PM]:
about tamme, jacob
Stephen White [11:27 PM]:
perfect pass
IsItFallYet? [11:27 PM]:
Throw it to Decker!
jpoundr [11:27 PM]:
Guys from Syracuse and Rutgers playing well for Patriots
pjlawrence81 [11:26 PM]:
@Run Home Jack Meanwhile, Belichick telling himself “I knew I made the right choice”.
Stephen White [11:26 PM]:
Chandler Jones forced that hold, has balled all night
eightyseven [11:25 PM]:
“WELKER DROP” she said while wearing his Pats jersey.
Mark Ennis [11:25 PM]:
Gritty drop
Ryan Nanni [11:25 PM]:
Welker with his least Welker moment in Welkerdom.
IsItFallYet? [11:24 PM]:
They should microwave Peyton’s gloves in between TV breaks.
Charlie Gebow [11:24 PM]:
@pjlawrence81 Well, the NFC East champ could luck into it, so yes
Stephen White [11:24 PM]:
Knowshon has to have a bazillion yards at this point. Good hard running
eightyseven [11:24 PM]:
@matthew_k Singoff is strictly a cappela groups so no band or instrumentals. I am answering this question like its a serious one.
pjlawrence81 [11:23 PM]:
Peyton still unable to shake his cold weather blues. Does anyone see them winning the SB in Jersey if they get there?
eightyseven [11:23 PM]:
@sgw94 Manning got a break for once.
Clay Wendler [11:22 PM]:
manning gonna have a hangover at arrowhead
Stephen White [11:22 PM]:
Talib into almost shuts the door but he is called for a hold
eightyseven [11:22 PM]:
WUTTTTTTTT
Charlie Gebow [11:22 PM]:
@Run Home Jack Well, that just did
Matthew Kenerly [11:22 PM]:
Oh, Man…ning
Ryan Nanni [11:21 PM]:
Like, has ANYTHING gone well for Denver this half?
Matthew Kenerly [11:20 PM]:
Someone tell me the difference between the Singoff and the Voice.
King in Canada [11:20 PM]:
Also, Tom Hanks was here.
King in Canada [11:20 PM]:
CFL Grey Cup just ended, host team was in it and won. There’s thousands going nuts in the streets
Raymie Humbert [11:18 PM]:
I feel like Manning is actually unable to orchestrate a game-extending/winning drive here
eightyseven [11:18 PM]:
Stevie G my pool thanks youuuuuuuuu
Stephen White [11:17 PM]:
Von with a clean win on a spin move forces that Brady incompletion
Mark Ennis [11:17 PM]:
Woo Denver got lucky there.
Stephen White [11:17 PM]:
Another wheel to Gronk, this time falls incomplete in the endzone
eightyseven [11:17 PM]:
So close
Raymie Humbert [11:17 PM]:
Manning needs to turn it around fast. This is embarrassing
joshvc [11:16 PM]:
@Raymie Humbert It’s about to.
Charlie Gebow [11:16 PM]:
@Raymie Humbert If the Pats get a TD, yes, FG, no
Mark Ennis [11:16 PM]:
Has a team ever trailed by 24 and won by 24? Asking for a friend.
Raymie Humbert [11:15 PM]:
Does this game feel over to anyone else?
Stephen White [11:13 PM]:
Good tackle by the Pat tight end
Mark Ennis [11:13 PM]:
@Run Home Jack I just texted my brother the exact same thing.
Charlie Gebow [11:13 PM]:
“Good strategy by Josh McDaniels” I understand those words individually, but they collectively make no sense
Ryan Nanni [11:13 PM]:
I’d feel a lot worse for Manning if I hadn’t watched that Colts-Bucs game in 2003.
Stephen White [11:11 PM]:
Gotta make that play Woodyard
Mark Ennis [11:11 PM]:
Oh Denver you have to come up with that!
IsItFallYet? [11:11 PM]:
@Run Home Jack Pffft, this is hardly a disaster. Disaster is the Falcons’ season. This is more of a clusterf***.
Stephen White [11:10 PM]:
Brady is in a zone now
joshvc [11:10 PM]:
So Peyton was bad against the Colts and pretty terrible so far tonight. Is it the competition? The emotion/spotlight? Am I imagining things?
Charlie Gebow [11:10 PM]:
Broncos had been slashing em on the ground, but one guy fumbles and everyone’s all like “Whoa, let’s dial it back”
Mark Ennis [11:09 PM]:
Manning averaging a smooth 3.7 yards/attempt tonight.
IsItFallYet? [11:09 PM]:
@Clay Wendler lmao
Stephen White [11:09 PM]:
If Holliday doesn’t flub the punt right before halftime DRC never gets hurt trying to get the int after that. Turned out to be a huge play and turning point for this game
Clay Wendler [11:08 PM]:
peyton must think he’s in the playoffs or something
Ryan Nanni [11:08 PM]:
@Clefo that was true no matter what happened tonight.
Charlie Gebow [11:07 PM]:
So, Chiefs fans will be arguing in comment sections of various power rankings that they should be #1 now, right?
Ryan Nanni [11:07 PM]:
What a freaking disaster.
Matthew Kenerly [11:07 PM]:
They had Florio in a random not-advertisement for Samsung earlier. Just him looking at his phone for 15 seconds.
Stephen White [11:07 PM]:
Tried that Thomas WR screen but Talib gets away with an obvious hold. Punt
Mark Ennis [11:04 PM]:
@derp ferguson Yeah but it’s Mike Florio so you can just sit down and eat a shit sandwich.
derp ferguson [11:04 PM]:
Does NBCSports have a TV ombudsman?
Clay Wendler [11:04 PM]:
Ryan Nanni [11:04 PM]:
so there’s this:
Only five teams in NFL history have blown a 24 point halftime lead.
— sir broosk (@celebrityhottub) November 25, 2013
Raymie Humbert [11:03 PM]:
Do you think the Broncos can pull this out?
Charlie Gebow [11:02 PM]:
Oh I get it, this comeback is Unbelievable
pjlawrence81 [11:02 PM]:
This is quite the choke job.
Stephen White [11:01 PM]:
Edelman putting on a show. Pats lead after his TD reception
Mark Ennis [11:01 PM]:
Welllllllllllllllllllllllllp Broncos
Charlie Gebow [10:59 PM]:
So…. Why would you STOP running?
Ryan Nanni [10:59 PM]:
JACK DEL RINO
Stephen White [10:59 PM]:
Manning went Romo
Mark Ennis [10:57 PM]:
Denver doesn’t wake up they’re headed to the damn Insight Bowl again.
Clay Wendler [10:57 PM]:
Charlie Gebow [10:55 PM]:
Tripdon Holliday
Ryan Nanni [10:55 PM]:
BAHSTAHN NEVAH QUITS

Fired up Brady dot gif

My feelssssss
Mark Ennis [10:53 PM]:
Del Rio Struggle Face Dot PNG
pjlawrence81 [10:53 PM]:
Just like that. Bronco D never came out of the locker after halftime.
Stephen White [10:52 PM]:
Gronk. 3 point game
Clay Wendler [10:52 PM]:
eightyseven [10:51 PM]:
@Clay Wendler awww I see ppl I actually liked on SNL
Ryan Van Bibber [10:51 PM]:
Nelly recognized the Rams at the AMAs … kind of
pjlawrence81 [10:51 PM]:
@sgw94 They probably think he’s faking it to stop the Pats momentum.
Ryan Van Bibber [10:51 PM]:
eightyseven [10:50 PM]:
“Don’t call it a comeback.”
Clay Wendler [10:50 PM]:
Stephen White [10:50 PM]:
Yeah boo the injured guy idiot Pats fans smh
Stephen White [10:49 PM]:
I think that was only a two man route. Pats went max protect and Gronk stayed in
Mark Ennis [10:48 PM]:
Uh oh, Denver.
Stephen White [10:48 PM]:
This is about to get interesting folks. Pass to Edelman has them down inside the 10
Charlie Gebow [10:45 PM]:
Y’all are saying Crisco, I say KY. Gronk’s in the vicinity.
Mark Ennis [10:45 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman my favorite part is the one guy “touch down tom”. Touch down. Two words.
eightyseven [10:45 PM]:
I’m here because of dat luchador mask
Oh No Romo [10:45 PM]:
Crisco football?
Stephen White [10:44 PM]:
Now Manning fumbles for no apparent reason on third down forcing a punt
pjlawrence81 [10:43 PM]:
Pats fans booing Welker, while secretly wishing they still had him.
Stephen White [10:41 PM]:
Thomas screen coming soon I think
Ryan Nanni [10:41 PM]:
@matthew_k Dropped a couple of passes as well, I believe.
Matthew Kenerly [10:40 PM]:
What’s the deal with Demaryius Thomas? Has Talib just kept him quiet all night?
Rodger Sherman [10:40 PM]:
Stephen White [10:36 PM]:
Watch out now, Pats within 10 pending XP
Raymie Humbert [10:36 PM]:
Manning may need to go to passing game with running fumble troubles.
pjlawrence81 [10:35 PM]:
And the comeback begins.
Stephen White [10:34 PM]:
GRONK BEAT MODE
Stephen White [10:34 PM]:
Von didn’t like that double team lol
IsItFallYet? [10:34 PM]:
Pats would do better to keep the ball on the ground in this weather…
Stephen White [10:33 PM]:
@Mark Ennis !!!!!!!
Mark Ennis [10:32 PM]:
@sgw94 the ball being covered in crisco would explain why only the fat guys seem to be able to hold on to it.
Ryan Nanni [10:32 PM]:
Can’t wait to blame that fumble on Manning’s lack of multiple Super Bowls.
Raymie Humbert [10:32 PM]:
Oh great. At least Manning doesn’t get credited with it.
Stephen White [10:32 PM]:
Maybe the all has been covered with Crisco. Montee Ball about to get a few splinters now
pjlawrence81 [10:31 PM]:
…or not. You gotta go down the field eventually, Peyton.
Charlie Gebow [10:31 PM]:
Montee Ball joins the cone of fumble shame
Mark Ennis [10:31 PM]:
Guess it’s Denver’s turn to fumble.
Raymie Humbert [10:30 PM]:
I need some more passing, Peyton… Either that or just stall so Matt Prater can kick FGs like crazy.
Stephen White [10:30 PM]:
as he falls down on a gatorade cup on the field lol
pjlawrence81 [10:30 PM]:
Denver is gonna kill mad clock just keeping it on the ground.
Stephen White [10:29 PM]:
Moreno is really making the most of every run tonight
Stephen White [10:27 PM]:
Swear I didn’t realize Jammer hadn’t retired yet
Clay Wendler [10:26 PM]:
Charlie Gebow [10:25 PM]:
@Run Home Jack It was just foreplay before
Ryan Nanni [10:24 PM]:
@Clefo Also this game does feel like a long time.
Raymie Humbert [10:24 PM]:
@sgw94 But hey, only .001% of brown paper bags make it onto national television!
Charlie Gebow [10:24 PM]:
OH I GET IT BREAK MUSIC, THAT BAND IS BOSTON AND THIS GAME IS TAKING PLACE NEAR THERE
Stephen White [10:24 PM]:
Pats get on the board with an Edelman TD reception
Raymie Humbert [10:24 PM]:
Broncos need to reply—Manning’s passing game in particular. With the way everything was coming up runs it was like we were in a world without the forward pass.
Stephen White [10:24 PM]:
@Raymie Humbert I thought I was seeing a flag thrown, then it looked like a brown paper bag
Clay Wendler [10:24 PM]:
Raymie Humbert [10:23 PM]:
@sgw94 Noticed that late in the first half
Ryan Nanni [10:23 PM]:
FINE MAKE ME LOOK STUPID PATRIOTS.
Stephen White [10:23 PM]:
Random debris flying all over the field now. Its windy
Stephen White [10:22 PM]:

Oh my gosh, I love that meme!
IsItFallYet? [10:21 PM]:
Is Ridley still out? C’mon Bellichick.
Clay Wendler [10:21 PM]:
Stephen White [10:20 PM]:
Pats moving the ball well to start the second half
Ryan Nanni [10:18 PM]:
@pjlawrence81 I don’t think they’ll be able to stop the run enough for that.
Stephen White [10:18 PM]:
Wow, this is the largest halftime deficit of Belichick’s career as a head coach???
Ryan Nanni [10:18 PM]:
zzzzz…what? more game?
pjlawrence81 [10:18 PM]:
ANyone else think the Pats will come back and make this a game?
Mark Ennis [10:08 PM]:
Killer analysis, NBC. “They’ve gotta score.”
Stephen White [10:04 PM]:
Did DRC really get hurt on that last play? Talk about bad luck smh
Mark Ennis [10:04 PM]:
DRC hurt diving for a meaningless pick. Yikes.
Ryan Van Bibber [10:03 PM]:
DRC hurt now
Charlie Gebow [10:02 PM]:
Holliday is a good runner, not the best “returner”
Ryan Nanni [10:02 PM]:
Fish or cut bait, dude.
Stephen White [10:02 PM]:
WTF are you doing Trindon Holliday?1
Stephen White [9:59 PM]:
OPI
Ryan Nanni [9:59 PM]:
Thank goodness NBC didn’t hype the shit out of this.
Stephen White [9:58 PM]:
That’s sarcasm of course. That could have ended very badly and shouldve been flagged
Stephen White [9:57 PM]:
fantastic DDT by the LT on Von Miller lol
Stephen White [9:57 PM]:
Basically everything is working for the Broncos pass rushers
Stephen White [9:55 PM]:
Man thats a lot of contact on Decker but no flag on third down. Broncos have to punt
Mark Ennis [9:51 PM]:
Getting really chippy in New England
Stephen White [9:51 PM]:
Getting chippy out there
Stephen White [9:47 PM]:
Yep, finally chipped him and Miller got peter rolled lol
Rodger Sherman [9:47 PM]:
Stephen White [9:46 PM]:
They better send help to the LT or Von might break a record tonight
Clay Wendler [9:45 PM]:
Ryan Nanni [9:44 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman Are you suggesting President Obama might pardon the Patriots?
Stephen White [9:44 PM]:
Tried that wham play with the TE blocking the DT. Didn’t work so well
Rodger Sherman [9:43 PM]:
Those turkeys NBC keeps showing have as good a chance to win as the Pats.
Clay Wendler [9:41 PM]:

Just a disaster first half for New England.
pjlawrence81 [9:36 PM]:
Sloppy game by the QBs
Stephen White [9:36 PM]:
Thomas mightve run for a long way had he caught that
Charlie Gebow [9:35 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman Oh yeah
Rodger Sherman [9:35 PM]:
Anybody else see the ref pat Peyton’s butt?
derp ferguson [9:34 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman there are two teams playing in the same cold
Clay Wendler [9:33 PM]:
Mark Ennis [9:33 PM]:
Denver running almost exclusively over right guard.
Rodger Sherman [9:32 PM]:
seriously, though: does cold make it hard to hold onto the ball? not this much, right?
Rodger Sherman [9:32 PM]:
@sbnation more like in Papa Johns Garlic Dipping Sauce

Rodger Sherman [9:32 PM]:
i posit that peyton manning dipped the ball in butter before the game, but:
Stephen White [9:31 PM]:
Maybe they didn’t trust the kicker into the wind? IDK
Ryan Van Bibber [9:31 PM]:
does Brady look off again?
Stephen White [9:30 PM]:
Welp. Kinda felt like they should’ve taken the points there. Then they turn it over on downs on 4th and 5. They were going to need three at some point anyway
Mark Ennis [9:30 PM]:
Brady had Amendola right away and hesitated.
Clay Wendler [9:29 PM]:
NACHO DOWN
Mark Ennis [9:28 PM]:
There’s a special hell for people who blow a beautiful wheel route.
Ryan Nanni [9:28 PM]:
Maybe go into the locker room early, Shane. They’ve got snacks there!
Stephen White [9:28 PM]:
Wheel route….dropped
Clay Wendler [9:26 PM]:
peyton manning has 9 yards, he is terrible
jimbajuice [9:26 PM]:
This game is not very good, from a watchability standpoint.
pjlawrence81 [9:25 PM]:
Wonder if peyton saw #30 chillin’ in the cut, waiting for him to throw that pass to Welker.
Mark Ennis [9:25 PM]:
They’re going to play the Super Bowl in this asstastic cold weather.
Stephen White [9:24 PM]:
No excuse for this many fumbles
Clay Wendler [9:24 PM]:
when you had an open receiver he would literally stand still and wave his arms like that
Stephen White [9:24 PM]:
Man did the Patriots smear Crisco all over their uniforms before the game or something?
Clay Wendler [9:23 PM]:
front page sports football pro, i think
Clay Wendler [9:23 PM]:
that reminds me of an football video game
Ryan Nanni [9:23 PM]:
Nice balaclava, Colquitt.
Mark Ennis [9:22 PM]:
Will Brinson reminds us, Wes Welker is open. 
Rodger Sherman [9:22 PM]:
yay! a clock!
Stephen White [9:22 PM]:
Welcome back clock
Stephen White [9:21 PM]:
Passes are definitely sailing tonight outside the numbers
Ryan Van Bibber [9:21 PM]:
Tom Brady: Completing 61.5 pct of attempts to slot WRs this season; completed 72.0 pct of passes to Wes Welker out of the slot

Clay Wendler [9:21 PM]:
28 now!
Clay Wendler [9:21 PM]:
33 combined net passing yards, rejoice NFL schedule makers
Ryan Van Bibber [9:20 PM]:
| 2nd | 13:20 |
| Broncos | 17 |
| Patriots | 0 |
Stephen White [9:19 PM]:
Moreno tote game crazy
Mark Ennis [9:18 PM]:
@Clay Wendler lol
Clay Wendler [9:17 PM]:
Stephen White [9:16 PM]:
Sick catch by Tamme. Harder than it looked especially in that wind and cold. Move the sticks
Mark Ennis [9:16 PM]:
Courtesy of @jose3030 
derp ferguson [9:16 PM]:
hey who’s in Kraft’s box tonight? weird we haven’t seen it yet
Mark Ennis [9:15 PM]:
Spikes blasted Moreno in the hole. I’VE BEEN TAKEN BACK TO 2008.
Ryan Nanni [9:15 PM]:
@sgw94 Imagine how Les Miles would feel.
Stephen White [9:14 PM]:
Hate not knowing how much time is left in the quarter, on the play clock etc
Clay Wendler [9:14 PM]:
seems like punter flops are way up this year
Charlie Gebow [9:14 PM]:
Hey, nobody fumbled, that’s a win
Mark Ennis [9:12 PM]:
@sgw94 Collinsworth has no idea what you’re talking about.
Ryan Nanni [9:12 PM]:
Does anything work in Gillette? ARE THE RAPTOR FENCES DOWN?
Stephen White [9:11 PM]:
Wonder when they will get around to mentioning the Broncos playing a 3-4 this week
Stephen White [9:10 PM]:
Terrell Suggs thinks this is a conspiracy
Ryan Van Bibber [9:07 PM]:
Clay Wendler [9:06 PM]:
that stella artois chalice is impressive, i tell you what
Mark Ennis [9:05 PM]:
Every Peyton Manning sack where he just lays down is like “You can’t fire me, I quit.”
Stephen White [9:03 PM]:
Finally the Pats get some positive plays on defense. Chandler Jones showing up
Clay Wendler [9:03 PM]:
hey someone finally touched payaton
Mark Ennis [9:02 PM]:
Just one big middle finger from the Broncos offensive line right now. Freaking man ball.
Clay Wendler [9:02 PM]:
apparently this is no longer a qb driven league
Ryan Nanni [9:02 PM]:
I get why they’re doing it, but it’s funny to hear the officials tell them to turn off one of the play clocks.
Stephen White [9:01 PM]:
Broncos are giving the Pats a dose of their own medicine from last year with this running game
Mark Ennis [8:59 PM]:
Man the easiest way to make sure a football game is a blowout is to let us plan SB Nation Live for it.
Ryan Nanni [8:58 PM]:
GRONK AT RUNNING BACK. GET WEIRD.
Charlie Gebow [8:58 PM]:
@IsItFallYet? I was crushing my opponent this week… but they have the Denver defense. Womp womp
Clay Wendler [8:58 PM]:
IsItFallYet? [8:57 PM]:
Does this mean that Ridley gets to go back in? My fantasy team needs it.
Stephen White [8:56 PM]:
Patriots are running out of running backs to bench
pjlawrence81 [8:55 PM]:
Apparently, the Patriots are terrible in cold weather.
Mark Ennis [8:55 PM]:
Blount was knocked cold.
Stephen White [8:55 PM]:
Broncos guy might be down by contact though
Charlie Gebow [8:55 PM]:
MORE FUMBLING
Stephen White [8:55 PM]:
Again? Yep
Ryan Nanni [8:55 PM]:
This is an innovative way to keep Peyton Manning’s passing numbers down.
Stephen White [8:54 PM]:
Wait…
Mark Ennis [8:54 PM]:
Man New England down to a 3rd string tackle vs. this pass rush? Yikes.
Stephen White [8:54 PM]:
They just matched up Von on Gronk. That’ll be interesting as the game goes on
IsItFallYet? [8:53 PM]:
Can’t watch it live, is Ridley out for the game because of the fumble?
Clay Wendler [8:53 PM]:
Charlie Gebow [8:52 PM]:
@pjlawrence81 Not everyone has an l33t D like, say, the Chiefs today
pjlawrence81 [8:52 PM]:
Remember when everyone called them Enver Broncos cuz they had no D? This might be the most complete team in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.
Stephen White [8:52 PM]:
That was basically a 3-4 look on that sack caused fumble by Von. One of the three inside guys dropped in the middle. That lineup almost insures nobody can help the LT with Miller
Clay Wendler [8:51 PM]:
Mark Ennis [8:50 PM]:
The last thing Brady wants is Denver not having to really worry about the run game and being able to pin their ears back and just rush the passer.
Stephen White [8:49 PM]:
Great patience by Moreno on that run finding that little sliver to run through for the TD
Stephen White [8:49 PM]:
This could get out of hand fast.
Ryan Nanni [8:48 PM]:
That’s gotta be a flag on Luke Kuechly.
Stephen White [8:48 PM]:
fat guy fumble return
Mark Ennis [8:48 PM]:
BENCH BRADY
Charlie Gebow [8:47 PM]:
ALL THE FUMBLES
Stephen White [8:47 PM]:
And there is Von MIller again
Stephen White [8:46 PM]:
Vickerson getting hurt might put a damper on those 3-4 looks if he doesn’t come back
Clay Wendler [8:43 PM]:
Mark Ennis [8:43 PM]:
When Stevan Ridley lost a fumble last week, was kept off field for 18 plays before his return. In season-opener, benched for 2-plus quarters

Mark Ennis [8:41 PM]:
Ridley slammed his helmet down knowing he won’t be needing it any more.
Stephen White [8:41 PM]:
Cut that damn mohawk son and maybe you will prosper again
Charlie Gebow [8:40 PM]:
275 people just dropped Vereen
Ryan Van Bibber [8:40 PM]:
back to bench for Ridley
Ryan Nanni [8:40 PM]:
Well, there’s Von.
Mark Ennis [8:40 PM]:
Von Miller scoop and score!
Stephen White [8:40 PM]:
Find some pine Ridley
Clay Wendler [8:39 PM]:
276 people just picked up shane vereen in fantasy
Stephen White [8:39 PM]:
Two third downs, two Vereen catches for conversions
Ryan Nanni [8:39 PM]:
Whoops, let’s try that again: 
Ryan Nanni [8:39 PM]:
Here is what Philip Rivers wore to his post-victory press conference: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BZ4NJOUCMAEueq4.jpg:large
Stephen White [8:39 PM]:
Makes sense to line up that way with Von back and Phillips playing so well
Stephen White [8:38 PM]:
3-4 again. Interesting.
Stephen White [8:38 PM]:
Better find Vereen on third down. Brady will definitely be looking for him
Mark Ennis [8:37 PM]:
Man they all look miserable which is why I advocate banning everything north of Kentucky.
Stephen White [8:37 PM]:
Broncos with a full on 3-4 look on defense
Clay Wendler [8:36 PM]:
turkeys errywhere
Ryan Nanni [8:36 PM]:
I’m just happy Aqib Talib didn’t wind up stuffed and mounted in Steve Smith’s living room.
Stephen White [8:34 PM]:
Von Miller needs to show up big tonight. I feel like he has gotten a pass the first few games he has been back but the rust should be knocked off by now
Stephen White [8:33 PM]:
Welker with the catch short of the first down. Pressure made Manning roll to his right
Ryan Nanni [8:32 PM]:
FACT: Peyton has never won a game when the temperature is below absolute zero.
Stephen White [8:32 PM]:
Every time I see Orlando Franklin I think of Tiny Lister lol. Good run by Moreno to start things off
Oh No Romo [8:32 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman I’d really like to hear PFT Commenter’s take on the CFL
Rodger Sherman [8:31 PM]:
so glad we could do SB Nation Live for the Grey Cup
Charlie Gebow [8:30 PM]:
arguments
Charlie Gebow [8:30 PM]:
Manning-Brady is basically the QB version of the old “Backstreet Boys-N’Sync”
Ryan Nanni [8:30 PM]:
“We asked three old white men…” Man, this is the worst Family Feud episode EVER.
Mark Ennis [8:29 PM]:
If the Patriots ever feel like quitting I hope they’ll stop and remember Peter King’s feelings before doing so.
Stephen White [8:28 PM]:
@Ryan Van Bibber Looked dominant again but Sheridan went back to calling a ton of quick tex-es so he didn’t record a sack. Had a lot of pressure though
Ryan Van Bibber [8:27 PM]:
@sgw94 how did Gerald McCoy look today? I didn’t see that game at all
Stephen White [8:26 PM]:
Broncos on offense first
Ryan Nanni [8:25 PM]:
@Ryan Van Bibber also i’d be happy because i don’t know any other Carrie Underwood songs.
Ryan Nanni [8:25 PM]:
@Ryan Van Bibber why would i do that first thing
Ryan Van Bibber [8:24 PM]:
what if you paid money to take your daughter to see Carrie Underwood and she sang that song?
Ryan Nanni [8:22 PM]:
Pretty rude that people are watching football on their phones at a Carrie Underwood concert.
Charlie Gebow [8:22 PM]:
These guys ain’t crap. ALEX SMITH AND JOE FLACCO ARE THE LIGHT
Stephen White [8:21 PM]:
Rodney Harrison tried to pull a Bettis and pick both teams just then didn’t he?
Mike E. Kaye [8:20 PM]:
Since the Colts lost, a Patriots loss will still keep them in 2nd place in the AFC, the Broncos will stay in first no matter what
Mark Ennis [8:18 PM]:
MANNING vs. DEXTER LET’S DO THIS
Ryan Nanni [8:18 PM]:
Nope sorry I root for the University of Florida swim team.
Mike E. Kaye [8:18 PM]:
question mark was clutch RVB
Clay Wendler [8:18 PM]:
Stephen White [8:18 PM]:
What a wacky day of football so far. Great Football evening folks!
Ryan Van Bibber [8:15 PM]:
