Clutch Encounters: Week 1
by Scott Kacsmar

Matt Ryan's biggest day, Drew Brees' deja vu, Cleveland's no-huddle clinic in Pittsburgh, more overtime politicking, and John Elway's double vision in Denver.

Denver's offense helped the rally with conservative play and too many dropped passes. The Broncos still led 31-10 with 9:54 left in the fourth quarter, but like in the AFC playoffs last year against the Chargers and Patriots, not even a late three-score lead is comfortable with this defense. Luck went on to lead two touchdown drives and Manning couldn't hit a pass in the four-minute offense. Just like that, Luck had 2:58 and 64 yards to go with a 31-24 score.
