arrow-left — Neither team was able to run the ball with their running backs, so the quarterbacks were left to do it all themselves. Brady turned on the jets on this play and got an important first down in the second quarter.

arrow-left — The best way to defeat Brady is to overwhelm him with pocket pressure, and that's exactly what Denver was able to do in this one. Brady makes mistakes when the pocket collapses, and that's when he throws the most interceptions. Kudos to Darian Stewart for being alert.

arrow-left — The game would have essentially been over had the Patriots not converted on this play. But Brady and Gronkowski weren't about to give up just yet. Gronkowski somehow managed to beat two defenders for a huge gain, and it was nothing short of miraculous.

arrow-left — New England just doesn't quit. Brady was about to go down, and chucked it in Gronkowski's general direction. Of course, Gronk managed to make the play because he's Gronk ... and everyone else isn't.

arrow-left — A successful two-point conversion would have sent the game into overtime, barring something unforeseen on the subsequent kickoff. However, Broncos safety Bradley Roby picked off Brady and forced the Patriots to try an onside kick, which ultimately failed. When it was all said and done, the Broncos walked away with the 20-18 win.
