Patriots’ Gronkowski injury not serious
Anderson scored on a 48-yard run with 12:32 left in overtime, powering the Broncos past the New England Patriots 30-24 on a snowy Sunday night. “I don’t think it’s dirty, I just think that’s the way football is being played now”. It was a check we had worked on in practice all week.
Cal alum C.J. However, the Patriots also lost it in the 4th quarter thanks to the Gronkowski injury and the iffy holding call on Demaryius Thomas on that key end zone play. This isn’t about allowing Manning to choose how and when to go out or whether benching him when he is healthy would embarrass him. And the fans went insane. We’ll see. I’m not sure. Brady also was 23-for-42 for 280 yards with three TDs and no interceptions.

The Patriots’ loss to the Broncos was the team’s first of the season.
Backup tight end Scott Chandler had five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown for the Patriots against Denver, by far the best performance since he joined the Patriots this season.
“It was a very hard loss”, Brady said. “They have some things they’re going to have to check on, and we’ll go from there”. We just didn’t make a couple of plays in the fourth quarter. It always hurts to lose. Chung can go back and watch that tape, he can understand that some crews will call games extremely tight, so even the slightest hold can get a flag tossed out onto the field.
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.
Beating the then 10-0 Patriots was going to involve forcing at least one turnover, which Denver did brilliantly on this punt. He drilled a 47-yard field goal with no time left in regulation to send the game into overtime.
“It was a great drive”, Brady said. I think a lot of times, that gest overlooked because you sacrifice a lot and guys sacrifice their bodies. “It just wasn’t our night”.
Gronkowski cut through bad weather and the Broncos’ defense to make six catches for 88 yards and a touchdown before being knocked out of the game. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the quarterback’s symptoms didn’t last much longer after the game.
Palmer’s touchdown run finished off a 14-play, 85-yard drive for the Cardinals, who improved to 9-2.
Anderson rushed for 113 yards and two TDs on 15 carries.
Wilson’s 80-yard touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin with 2:01 remaining gave Seattle a nine-point lead and essentially sealed the victory. Against Denver, they were without receiver Danny Amendola as well.
