There's not other way to describe it. This team is all about HEART, DETERMINATION, and PERSEVERENCE. Most importantly.....this is a TEAM!!
Jason Taylor has a sprained MCL in his knee. Doctors said he should have been in surgery against KC. And there he is tonight, wreaking havoc all over the field. I feel like he's the best player on our team right now.
Olindo Mare has struggled this year. He's the highest paid kicker in the league. And he's struggled with kicks from all over the place. Hell, he missed one in the first half that cost us the game......except that he came back and hits a pressure-packed 53-yarder.....in DENVER....to win the game. BTW - that kick probably would have been good from 70. MENTAL TOUGHNESS
Jay Fiedler played a near flawless game. This guy gets blasted every week by Miami "fans". And yet he keeps coming back and leading this team to victory. Aside from the INT (which was a great call by Ray Rhodes), his throws were sharp/on target and his decision making was very good despite constant pressure and dropped passes. And he threw a key block on McKnight's big reverse. This guy has big brass ones. He is FEARLESS. After this game, I really feel good about our QB position.
Ricky Williams has been gameplanned for and taken out of the game for two weeks in a row. Denver is the toughest team in the league against the run. And they had 8 and 9 men in the box all night. But in both games, Ricky stays with it, stays with it, stays with it.......and turns it on when he gets his chance. And he's continued to excel in the passing game. This guy embodies what our team is about.
Randy McMichael bounces back from two late drops and an injury to snare a big one on 3rd down on the last drive.
Ward came back from a drop to concentrate on the tip and keep the drive alive on 3rd down to set up the game-winner. He has done this on a consistent basis for two years. He is truly a BIG GAME WR.
Norv Turner didn't pack it in in the 4th quarter when we got the lead. He threw the ball and tried to move the ball. He didn't just run it three times to bleed their TO's. And you gotta love how he doesn't give up on the run. He will not allow this team to be one-dimensional.
There isn't a tougher team in the league than the Denver Broncos. There isn't a tougher place to play than Invesco Field. Especially on national TV. And we just went in there would not be denied. The defense made plays and the offense did too.
We lost our best WR to a cheap shot. Then McKnight got hurt. Then McMichael got hurt. Yet the team persevered and never gave up.....and found a way to win.
This is the kind of thing that champions do.
