Packers Seventh Drive cont.....

--The Packers line up near mid-field to start the 2nd half.  The Broncos season could hang in the balance of the next 15 minutes... --Does this defense ever shift before the snap?? They get in position, and stay there...
--The defense stands tall again, and the Broncos will get the ball back with a chance to tie or take the lead...

Broncos Seventh Drive --

--The Broncos will start from the 20, and once again we'll have to deal with a guest in the booth. This is just STUPID. No other way to describe it...
--Scheffler makes the catch and is slow to get up...I think that will be every play...
--Stokley saves Cutler from his first "you-know-what" of the night....
--What a catch by Stokley! Hopefully the football gods are smiling on the Broncos for the Favre love-fest...
--A huge run by Young is on it's way back because of a holding penalty on Brandon Marshall. That is AWFUL. He pushed the defender, that's all....HORRIBLE!
--As it stands the Broncos are still moving the ball, and are closing in on field goal range...
--What an effort by Marshall, though all he had to do was throw it away...Now the Broncos have a third and long...There's a time and place for all that, now isn't the time...
--The time-out mis-management begins...How huge is that penalty now. Just plain bad....
--Another penalty...this time a false start on Lepsis....Not looking good right now...Hell, take a shot at the end-zone...
--Again, the Broncos cannot break a tackle. Huge play-call coming up and Shanny will try and force the Packers deep. Sauerbrun needs to step up here...
--Great job! Packers start inside the 5.

Packers Eighth Drive --

--Broncos need to get off the field now...
--They can't...instead of bringing pressure the Broncos sit back and Driver makes the grab. Another Packer first down...
--With all the struggles the defense has had, I find it interesting that Shanny has put the game, and season, in their hands...
--Another first down..This is just too easy...
--It has been the pass defense tonight, folks, that has let the defense down...
--If anything, the Packers have done a great job taking the clock down to near two minutes...
--Ball-game right here...the defense stands again, and Champ was again that close to a pick. The Broncos will have a chance...

Broncos Eighth Drive --

--Every game seems to come down to the end like this, so Cutler should be used to it...
--I believe the Broncos have two timeouts, but will start all the way back at their five...
--More penalty action against the Packers, and that will give the Broncos a first down, and give the offense room...
--Nothing doing on the run, and the Broncos will let it go to the 2-minute warning...
--TWO-MINUTE WARNING -- PACKERS 13 - BRONCOS 10
--Tipped pass, and the Broncos now looking at 3rd and 10
--3rd and ten, run an 8 yard route...
--4th and two, and the Broncos are now down to one timeout...
REMINDER -- MHR RADIO TO FOLLOW!!!
--Stokley comes up big once again. Solid job by the O-Line to give Cutler time...
--Pears is getting owned by Kampman....
--Brandon Marshall is frickin' awesome!!!
--Marshall needs to be careful here not to try too much, but the Broncos need to score the TD here...
--What a run by Young!!! Getting inside the 5 to the 3.....First and Goal BRONCOS!!!
--Second and one, actually, though that is not important...The Broncos have two shots to get it in...In the end-zone or in the stands...
--The play was there...Marshall was open, the pass was slightly behind....3rd and 1....
--Cutler tries to run it in, cannot, and the Broncos have to settle for a scramble field goal, for the second time this year, Elam gets on the field and ties the game....

END OF REGULATION -- BRONCOS 13 -- PACKERS 13

OVERTIME --

Packers Ninth Drive --

--The Packers win the toss and will receive. Will the Broncos inability to get into the endzone for the second time inside the 5 come back to haunt them? Can the defense make a stand.....AGAIN? Here we go Broncos Fans!!!
--Broncos have to find a way...Any way...to get this done...
--Great coverage by Hall. Favre came up small in Super Bowl XXXII, will he come up small now??
--Hoe won't....Dre Bly, the Broncos big free-agent acquisition, gets beat deep by Greg Jennings and just like that the game is over.....

FINAL SCORE -- PACKERS 19 - BRONCOS 13
