Broncos vs Giants: The No Bull Review

Broncos vs Giants: The No Bull Review
Mile High Report Mile High Report

I still don’t feel like I have a solid handle on what I witnessed Sunday afternoon as the Broncos pulled off the dumbest upset I’ve seen in all my years watching NFL football.

Keeping it real, I have to admit that I had the Broncos written off coming into the 4th quarter. Even with the good guys driving and us scoring a 2-point conversion, I didn’t think a comeback was possible.

I wonder if maybe I’ve wandered in the desert too long in recent years and have forgotten what Mile High Magic is. We’re going to shake up the review a bit as I’m going to indulge in the magic of that 4th quarter and the positivity we all got to experience as a fan base.

Once that’s done, we will put back on our No Bull hat and dig into the game review (which isn’t pretty).

If you are someone who just wants to hear hype, please read only this first section. When we get to the review, you probably will not enjoy much of it. You have been warned.

Mile High Magic

I grew up in my writing, watching the career of Demaryius Thomas. I always loved him as a player because he seemed like such a good-natured dude. He got a well-deserved place in the Ring of Fame this weekend. I kinda think he also might have been smiling down on the game and having a bit of fun with us as well.

Because comebacks like this are not possible.

I’ve watched decades of football, including one of the game’s best comeback artists in John Elway, in his prime.

I heard tell of a Peyton Manning comeback as epic as this, but this was before he was wearing the right colored jersey, so I didn’t happen to catch it.

I was front and center for the magical season with Tim Tebow at quarterback and a supremely talented team carrying him to victory after unlikely victory.

Comebacks like this are NOT possible.

Right?

Let’s start by giving some serious love to Justin Strnad for his interception. I have the same notes on that play as almost everyone involved with the game: it was the key to the game. To me, it looked like he had a read on the play. He knew what the route was and where to be. Good on him and the team for doing their homework.

Also, much love to Bo Nix, who just absolutely flipped a switch and turned into a destroyer of souls in the 4th quarter. He put up 4 TDs (2 on the ground) and will haunt the dreams of Giants fans for years to come. His passing in the 4th quarter was damn near immaculate.

No matter how hard Sean Payton tries to force the ball to Troy Franklin, all Marvin Mims, Jr. does is show up and make plays. He’s the unsung hero of this story, making so many critical plays at the end of the game....
