Champ "Bat-Out-Of-Hell" Bailey
There's some great on-the-ground HD footage of Demaryius Thomas' final touchdown catch/run, and this sequence of pics really jumped out at me.
Check out the ball-boy! He's like three yards out on the field!
The ref is just trying to stay upright from amidst all the pandemonium. Hope he doesn't get tackled by the ball-boy.
You can see a very happy John Fox right on the left side of the picture, and I think that's Mike McCoy right next to him. And, more happy ball-boys!
Ok, wait - who's that just under John Fox's right shoulder? I do believe that's our friend Mister Bailey, making his move.
Champ is already in mid-sprint, ready to bust through the line!
Most of the Broncos are still confused, not sure what's happening, but not Champ! He's cutting around John Fox, with McCoy behind him.
Champ is freaking out!! McCoy has his hand around Champ's jersey, trying to hold him back!
GET OFFA ME, MIKE MCCOY! I'm runnin' down the sideline!!!!
Champ's already off the screen, running down the field. And there's a happy John Fox.
Yes, that is a cheering John Elway over DT's right shoulder.
I just like this shot. They couldn't catch him.
Check out the happy security guard!
I think those guys in black are The Adjusters. They'll disappear into a doorway soon, their work done.
First guy to congratulate DT in the tunnel? Random Guy In Hat. Hey, way to go, Random Guy In Hat!
But the first player to get to DT? That would be Champ. He got there ahead of Eddie Royal, who was actually running a route down that side of the field!
This game means something.
Coming out of the tunnel, the world has changed...
Thank you, Demaryius Thomas!

The ball boy running is hilarious.
Thanks for posting this.

Awesome.
The ball-boy cracks me up! Why is he running anyway?
The only time you should be looking down on someone is if you are trying to help them up, unless you are Von Miller!
Man I'm glad the adjustment bureau was there.
Probably explains a lot about this season.

Nice reference
I’ve felt like that more than once this season. Wow! My wife yelled at me because I was screaming so much on the pass play. Good thing we live in the woods, probably would have had a 911 call. She’s still making fun of me today for screaming like a girl for 2 minutes (her version, mine is a much more manly 30 seconds. . . or so).
My wifes still mad because I chest bumped her to the floor.
I told her to suck it up and go big or go home. She reminded me we were home and enjoy the sofa….oh well IT WAS WORTH IT!

I hurt myself at the bar celebrating
i was not happy when pittsburgh tied the game, but then we stopped them and got the ball…and when i saw us lined up in a run formation i was even more nervous, but when the play started i stood up, then tebow threw the ball to a open dt and i started jumping up and down, then dt went beast mode and out ran/out muscled the defenders to a score and i started jumping around the bar like a mad man, ended up coming down and getting the top of chair up the outside of my shorts and i now have a 4 inch line from my knee to my hip that is just straight bruise…BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT!
Now
You can talk about your old football injury

Great post tunesmith!!!
All kinds of emotions and ALL of them good!
Better to be quiet and thought of as ignorant than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
Awesome post...
Any Hawkeyes fans out there might remember in last year’s bowl Micah Hyde had a game changing int return, somebody put together a sequence like this, great way to remember such an awesome play!!! It’s immortal!!!

SOOOO much emotion attached to this post!
“The Immaculate Deception” (as i’ve seen roaming around twitter some) was an enormous moment for the Broncos players, coaches, organization, and us fans!
This post really captures how much that play meant to Bronco Country. Foxy, McCoy, Elway and our boy CHAMP FREAKING BAILEY all caught in moments of pure candid enjoyment and relief to have lifted the Dark Cloud that’s been over this organization since the tragedy of The Wonderful Darrent Williams.
It was only a week ago that we got smoked by the Chiefs D and barely snuck into the playoffs feeling bittersweet about what transpired. And then THIS!? Are. You. Freaking. Kidding. Me!
We all felt it, with one perfect strike through the Mile High air, from Tebow to Optimus Prime, the negative emotions towards our team vanished in an instant, and has united all of Bronco Country once again!
We’ve got the best CB to ever play back into playoffs where he belongs! All that crap the Broncos organization has been through, for Champ (DJ too) to have stuck through it and been able to witness what happened last night… that must be such an amazing feeling! We love you Champ! So happy for you, lets keep it going so we can get Dawk his shot too!
Its back people!
I know it, YOU know it, and the NFL is about to find out too!
Mile High Magic people!?
How the EFF does it FEEL to have it back?
GO BRONCOS!

I loved watching that play over and over again
If you can watch it do so and watch for Champ jumping up and down the sideline. Champ then damn near trucked one of the coaches before he ran down the sideline to meet up with Bay Bay. Say what you want about this team but I haven’t seen this type of “TEAM” play in a while. All I want to see this Sunday is Tom( Uggs) Brady laying face up looking for what just hit him and where did the ball go!
this was fantastic
but i have a vague recollection of a game where the refs actually penalized a sideline player or coach for being too far out on the field during a long play. i remember everyone being incredulous that it was actually enforced. wouldn’t that have been a kick in the nuts? i wonder if the broncos would get penalized by their ballboy being on the field, or if he’s considered neutral/stadium staff?
You started your series too late and missed the best part
that stiff arm.

Yeah, but where's the ball boy?!
Take my advice... I'm not using it!

Very cool series!!! ’love it!
In a world where only the strong survives... we just double our strength.
This is awsome
Me, my cousin and my girlfriend (mostly me though) were all yelling and screaming when this play was going down, and my dog, Kenai, who’s a husky, started howling. It was hilarious!
GO BRONCOS!!!

It's times like this
that make me smile. All that shite I took from people about Tebow and to a lesser extent D. Thomas (OMG YOU COULDA HADZ DEZ BRYANT)
I wonder if Dez Bryant was comfortable watching from home.

One and Done
As it should be.
Tomorrow this game will help our cause by complicating what a lesser defense is able to do based on what they saw on week 15 and what they saw on Sunday. I expect some big plays for our offense, simply by making the defense over-think. Looking forward to it.
BTW, Champ is going to jump a route in this game. Maybe not for 99 yards, but he’s going to jump a route. He’s too much of consummate veteran to not let this moment pass without taking a chance to take Brady to the House. Looking forward to that too.
