Gronkowski May Not Miss a Game

You might have seen it on NBC during Sunday Night Football for the New England Patriots-Denver Broncos game. The result was electric.

“We always hope for the best for all of our players”, he said. “I just think that’s the way football is being played now”. “Like I said, it’s just something that we worked on during the week”.

Indianapolis running back Ahmad Bradshaw will miss the rest of this season after injuring his wrist in Sunday’s 25-12 victory over Tampa Bay. The Patriots capitalized with a Tom Brady touchdown pass to Scott Chandler for a 14-0 lead. They gave us a specific defensive front that we can’t run that ball into, so I checked to our second play that we called in our huddle. I don’t know why or why not. And the fans went insane. You hate to see it come down to stuff like that. Osweiler finished his second career start 23-of-42 passing for 270 yards to go with a touchdown and an interception.

“We’ll keep fighting”, Brady said. I’m not saying we weren’t trying to do that in the beginning of the season, but we’re executing up front better. It always hurts to lose. All of us prepare so hard and the last thing you want to do is play with someone who doesn’t do that. The Broncos received a new set of downs and he threw a touchdown pass to Andre Caldwell from 4 yards out. But he failed to lead a scoring drive on the Patriots’ only possession in overtime. A short field goal pulled them to 21-17. He is a tough guy’. Steve made a great kick.

But I’m glad I was wrong. “It just wasn’t our night”.

The Patriots were forced to punt a play after the penalty on Gronkowski, and the Broncos scored the go-ahead fourth quarter touchdown after the penalty on Chung. The Patriots led 21-7. If they do and they can stay undefeated, then the Patriots will certainly be an underdog in that game, despite being relatively equal to Carolina on a team level.

The Broncos rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the Patriots.

Anderson rushed for 113 yards and 2 TDs on 15 carries. Denver came into the game a three-point underdog to the defending Super Bowl champions, and just like last time Denver was a home underdog, the Broncos prevailed.

“It seemed liked the entire fourth quarter there was a yellow flag on the field”, Esiason said.

Against New England, which brought the NFL’s third-ranked run defense into Denver, the Broncos ran for 179 yards on 32 carries and three touchdowns.

So if the Broncos decide that former Sun Devil Brock Osweiler gives them a better chance to win right now, and that is still a big if, then they owe Manning nothing.

Chandler found an opening between two defenders, and Brady connected with him from 9 yards out for the score.
