Denver Broncos 24 - New England Patriots 24
You read that right. I believe this might be the first tie in league history (in a non-simmed game). The Broncos dominated the first half, taking a 21-0 lead into the break before the Patriots stormed back and dominated the second, tying the game and having a chance to kick a game-winning FG as time expired (which Ghost left short). The Broncos got the ball in the OT and drove down the field but got conservative near the end and settled for a FG. The Pats got the ball with a minute left and drove far enough to kick the tying FG with 1 second left.
Osweiler was 4 of 8 for 52 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT.
Brady was 20 of 29 for 311 yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT.
McFadden carried 21 times for 183 yards and 2 TDs.
Ridley had 9 carries for 42 yards.
Demaryius Thomas caught the Broncos' TD, but otherwise the new receiving corps was very silent (the rain certainly didn't help). Vincent Jackson was completely quiet until a key 3rd down grab in OT.
Danny Woodhead had 6 catches for 138 yards and 2 TDs, Hernandez had 5 for 62 and a TD and Gronk had 6 for 85.
Von Miller had a sack as well as the pick, along with several other hurries.
Spikes had the pick for the Patriots.

gg og! Our games are always close, and always seem to have crazy endings like this. I need to learn to close against you, since I've got up 21-0 twice in a row only to see you storm back.
My biggest mistake was obviously attempting a single pass all game the way McFadden was running. The key play for me was that Decker drop on 3rd down in the first half when he was wide open. If I'd driven down and scored there to make it 28-0, the game probably would have been out of reach.
