THE LEGENDARY SECONDARY
Like Patriot missiles pointed at a lonely Scud; Bailey, Goodman, Law, Dawkins, and Hill stand at the ready. Waiting for the tree-trunk known as Big Ben to get flushed from the pocket by DOOM, Denver's Legendary Secondary, has a combined 54 years of experience and 159 interceptions. It hardly seems fair..
DOOM is after Big Ben like a fat boy chasing an ice-cream truck on the 4th of July in Phoenix. The Legendary Secondary watches every movement of Big Ben's wide eyes as they salivate- they will be fed, and it won't take long.
Big Ben hurls the scud missile toward his trusted receiver, but the Legendary Secondary is everywhere, there is nowhere for the dud to land in caring hands and it is snatched from the air by the 'Champ' in full-stride, it's perfectly timed and it's a PICK 6!!!!
The Mighty Neckbeard waits patiently, it is not his time yet, but it will be soon enough...
Prater kicks off deep into the putrid yellow and black bile opposite the orange thundering lines. The ball is fair-caught on the 15-yard line. Yellow towels flutter in the wind of the mile high sanctuary- and no one even notices.
Big Ben and the boys arrive at the line. The sound of the South Stands is ear-shattering. Big Ben can't hear himself think and he see's something he doesn't like across the line- he has to call a time out.
Big Ben sets up in the shotgun, the ball is snapped. Like a lepper in a bath house, Andra Davis comes through the middle of the Steeler's o-line untouched and sprints full-speed into the tree trunk, felling him on the 2 yard-line.
Rattled, Big Ben limps to the line and surveys the field. The ball is snapped and he hands the ball off to Rashard Mendenhall. Rashard finds a hole, slipping past the first orange jerseys, gets a block and he's heading upfield to the 10, the 20, WhoAAA!!! Where did Dawkins come from???? Dawkins just leveled Mendenhall and the ball is loose!!! And the Broncos have it!!! downed at the 24 yard line!!!! Sweet Jesus, is Rashard okay? He's slow to get up, and we will take an injury time-out. We're gonna need a stretcher here...
Here comes Denver's offense for the first time today. Its Wild Horses time, and K.O. lines up to the right, three WR to the left and Moreno under center. The ball is snapped and Knowshon rolls to the right, Neckbeard takes the hand off and looks to Brandon Marshall in the end zone on the left!!! It's a beautiful pass with perfect touch dropping into the outstretched hands of the Beast!!! TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!
or something like that....
GO BRONCOS!!!!!

Not a great bed time story!
A great story, of course, but I got so excited reading it I will never get to sleep! Until Monday, at least

More evidence that McDaniels wants to win now instead of later on down the road.
The Rams and Bucs could be considered in a rebuilding mode, we hear that term all the time when teams struggle under new HC’s, but that is one thing we haven’t heard from our coach, no sir. He wants to win now! Instead of later and that’s what makes me proud to be a fan of this organization.

Nicest bit of fiction I've read since, well, ever.
All that sounds feasible except that you forgot Hines “The Smiley Assassin” Ward. His devastating block on Dawkins not only frees The Rash for a 98 yard TD, but breaks Dawkins’ faceguard clean off his helmet. :)
