KOA 850 Game Recap, Dave Logan,

Well Broncos fans, it's come to this. Just like we knew it would on April 25th, 2009 when The Trade went down. Denver's two first round picks from that year have played well. B.J. Raji and Tyson Jackson have been a wall up front. Cleveland has rushed 23 times for just 79 yards with zero TDs. One of Denver's two first round picks in 2010 has also played well. Taylor Mays has 12 tackles, a sack, and one forced fumble. DJ Williams leads the team with 13 tackles. Peyton Hillis, after a 1500 yard regular season and spectacular divisional round, has scored on a twelve yard run and a three yard reception in today's conference championship. Eddie Royal has one TD to go with his 8 receptions for 79 yards. Special teams ace Spencer Larsen blocked a punt through the back of the end zone to round out the scoring for the Broncos. Denver quarterback Brady Quinn is an efficient 19 for 26 for 223 yards and the two scores. He hasn't thrown an interception but did lose a fumble back in the first quarter leading to the Browns' field goal.

And here comes Jay Cutler onto the field. Denver's public enemy number one has been true to form in the AFC Championship. After a regular season in which he threw for 4500 yards and 32 TDs to go along with 19 interceptions, Cutler is 26 out of 39 for 372 yards in this one. He's thrown scoring passes of 81 and 35 yards to Braylon Edwards. He should have had a third scoring strike of 60 yards, but Edwards let a perfectly thrown ball go right through his fingers. Cutler has also thrown two interceptions. NIckleback Jack Williams picked him off at mid-field while the venerable and seemingly ageless Champ Bailey ended Cleveland's last drive with an interception in the back of the end zone.

And here comes Cutler and the Browns' offense out of the huddle. How are your stomachs holding up Bronco fans?

Jay won’t be able to do much else when Doom lays him on his @$$ on 3rd and 12.

I don’t want breakaway speed. I want break-some-poor-fool-as-I-bowl-you-over power getting 6 yards off a play that should have been stopped for 2 at most.
