The Broncos had a snowy ending to their Cinderella story. This past Sunday the broncos season came up just short, many events led up to this loss. Bo Nix being injured did not help the situation, but Broncos backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham coming into the AFC Championship without throwing a ball all season did not prepare them for this Sunday.
The Broncos game started off with clear skies and freezing cold. In the first quarter and first drive for the Broncos, Jarrett Stidham threw an amazing pass to Courtland Sutton for the first touchdown in the game. The crowd was going crazy, but the matter of the fact is that after that touchdown nothing went the Broncos way. During the game they missed two field goals which led them to come up just short to the Patriots losing 10-7. The Broncos lost all hope when the first snowflake touched the ground early in the third quarter. The snow had no plan in stopping either, the field was completely covered in snow with three minutes left to go in the third quarter making it hard for both teams to compete in the snow.
No players had traction on the field and that made both defenses look awesome for the rest of the game, with stop after stop and the ball just going back and forth between the two. The game was very hard to watch because after halfitme the game felt like it was a soccer game with the ball going nowhere besides back and forth. The snow might’ve been an issue but not for New England’s kicker Andy Borregales. With 5 minutes and 29 minutes remaining in the third quarter, he nailed the kick that sealed the game. After the Kick the game got really bad, and both teams were not able to see, wind blowing in one teams favor and wind pushing against the other.
This game ended the Broncos crazy season with their 11-game win streak and underdog story. Bo Nix is a quarterback that has only been in the league for 2 years, Nix was the Broncos big centerpiece this season leading the Broncos to many 4th quarter wins. The Broncos might’ve got their souls crushed, but they are looking to come back stronger next year and finish the job they couldn’t do this year which is winning the Super Bowl.
