Broncos react on Twitter to their clutch win over Raiders

Holy Comeback Batman!

I predicted a much bigger win by the Broncos over these Raiders, but I did say on two different radio programs last week that you never count out a division rival.

Never.

Combining some bad Broncos play in the first half and some solid Raiders play all game long - plus a ton of poor ref play - this game came down to a clutch drive by Case Keenum & Co.

And that made it the kind of game that drives me absolutely batsh*t crazy but is also my favorite kind of game - a come-from-behind win in the final moments.

Emmanuel Sanders was his usual baller all game, but his 21-yard catch on 2nd-and-20 to help keep the Broncos alive in the final drive was more amazing than ever.

And Tim Patrick’s first down catch on third down - plus huge yardage to set up a much easier game-winning field goal - was the clutchiest of clutch catches.

Or “uber-clutch” as Andrew Mason noted.

So, of course, beating the Raiders by a single point in the final seconds of the game could not be sweeter, and players were thrilled to be on the winning end of that one.

Perhaps there was no greater “response” (errr, troll) to the win than from Marquette King, a former Raider:

But Broncos-great, Hall-of-Famer Terrell Davis, had the perfect response.

He loved the win enough to give his classic Mile High Salute to the team.

For that second half - and especially that fourth quarter - they were worthy.
