The Broncos did it again, but are you really surprised?
In what has become a weekly echo, the Broncos trailed going into the fourth quarter yet with the never say die attitude that Tim Tebow seems to ooze, they crawled their way back with a few minutes left on the clock. Mix in Matt Prater's golden foot and you'll get yourself another SportsCenter special.
Thank God.
For the first three quarters it was easier to spot an angel hovering above the stadium than it was to make even a mildly interesting photograph. Defense may win championships but it doesn't always make for compelling images.
I'm pretty sure I made 75 percent of my storytelling images between the 4 minute mark in the fourth quarter and the end of the game in overtime. Despite the frustration that caused, I wouldn't have it any other way. This was definitely a good one to shoot.
