Recap: AFC Divisional - Broncos vs Patriots

Broncos 10, Patriots 45

Recap:
  • 1st Down: Battle of the Turnovers - 2 for the Pats and 1 for the Broncos. One would think that the score wouldn't be so lopsided had the turnover ratio been this low. However it was, and for the Broncos their one turnover may have started the land-side they were never able to overcome. After the Pats scored to make it 7-0, Tim Tebow fumbled the ball after being sacked, which allowed the Pats offense to score off that Turnover. Advantage: Broncos, even through they lost the game.
  • 2nd Down: Tebow vs Pats Defense: Lets face it, Belichick has Tebow's number. 9/26 for 129 yards. Yea Tebow had a bad game. So did the Broncos offense. Advantage: Patriots
  • 3rd Down: Can Brady torch the Broncos Defense again? 26/34 for 363 yards, 6 Touchdowns and 1 INT. Yes 6 TD's, that's not a typo. Yea I would say that he torched that defense again. Badly!!!! Advantage: Mr. Brady.
  • 4th Down: Weather: Balmy night in Foxboro. I don't think this had too much to do with the game, but it seemed to be chilly out. As a Northern-Born person, I would say it was a "nice" night for football. Advantage: Push

What's Next: The Patriots will host the AFC Championship game for the first time since Jan. 2008.
