Talib's eye-poke came near the end of Denver's 27-24 loss to the Colts and cost the Broncos a comeback opportunity.

Talib denied that the move was intentional. "You think I play football to poke people in the eye?" Talib said, via The Denver Post. "It was an honest mistake."

Honestly, Talib's denial is a claim that strains credulity.

"You guys ever played football?" said Talib. "You ever lost, at the end of the game? If you can remember back at how that feels, that's how I felt. I was just mad, man. It was the heat of the moment."

Talib will appeal the suspension.

Update: Talib lost his appeal and will be suspended Week 10
