NFL Patriots ‘turning page’ after falling short of Super Bowl
While others said Manning had played his last game or that the Broncos would be better off turning the team over to Brock Osweiler, Dungy smiled. If (Bucs receiver) Bert Emanuel’s catch isn’t a catch for the first time before or afterward (in the 1999 NFC title game), the only time in history it wasn’t a catch, maybe we win one here in Tampa.
Just two years ago, the Broncos served up their latest Super Bowl stinker, losing 43-8 to the Seahawks in a game that had been hotly anticipated as a matchup between Denver’s No. 1 offense led by Peyton Manning, against Seattle’s No. 1 defense.
Thank God for Jennifer, because she took all the pressure off me and just let me study and play and practice throughout the week, not worry about where everybody wanted to go, who didn t like their rooms, what parties everybody wanted. How obsessed is the champion to get back on top?
He previously had said that immediately following a season is not the time to make snap judgments of any kind.
In 2014, 26 teams made all of their extra point tries, while in the 2015 regular season, there were only 5 teams who were ideal, one of them being the Patriots Stephen Gostkowski, until yesterday of course. I can’t shake either one of them.
It’s a simple reason: “We’ve had Super Bowl success in our white uniforms”, said Elway, who was the Broncos’ QB in back-to-back Super Bowl wins in the 1990s. To put that in perspective, that’s more than any QB was hit in a game this year.
This NFL season has provided plenty of surprising story lines, but it only seems fitting to have the Carolina Panthers in Denver Broncos play for the biggest prize in professional football.
“We turn the page here and move on and start the process all over again and that’s where we are at”, said Belichick during his morning press conference yesterday at Gillette Stadium. For the season New England had 14 players in injured reserve. They did the same in Super Bowl XXXIII, when they defeated the Atlanta Falcons.
The Patriots, trailing 20-12, went for it on fourth-and-one at the Denver 16 with 6:03 to go, but Chris Harris Jr. sniffed out the pass to Julian Edelman and produced a one-yard loss.
As it turned out, the Patriots got two more possessions inside the Denver 20. The Patriots scored a touchdown as a result of the good field position. The league changed the rule this year in the hopes that it would restore some suspense to what Belichick had complained was a non-competitive play.
The only thing inflated in Sunday’s AFC Championship game were the ratings.
