I don't what it is about these @broncos but the ability to win close games is unreal. It's almost unnatural. The ability for the offense to come alive in the 4th quarter after is no longer a fluke. It's an expectation. I expect them to win close games. And no matter how many times we sit and bitch about how pedestrian the offense looks, they hit the turbo button when all hope seems lost. Three Broncos drives in the third quarter. Three 3-and-outs. A 2-score defecit. The game felt over. And then it wasn't. Same as it ever was. I don't even know how to explain it anymore. I do know this: that was the biggest goal line stand in years and easily the biggest win of the season. If I had told you this team would be 6-and-2 with that schedule, you'd take it and run. Like Jonah Coleman.
But he’s an embarrassment to the position right @FitzMagic_14
The Broncos do it again! They have won 15 straight regular season games that have been decided by one score, tying the 2008-09 Colts for the longest streak in NFL history.
Broncos came back from down 11 in the 4th quarter, it is Bo Nix's 13th career 4th-quarter comeback win (including playoffs), most by any QB in his first 3 seasons since starting QBs were first tracked in 1950.

In 1991 his wife called him from Romania about a three year old boy who could not walk and could not talk.
Here is what she said on that phone call.
"this guy's so much more than we can handle"
They took him anyway. He became their sixth child.
His name was Michael, and the man on the other end of that phone was Ernie Johnson.
Within a year the diagnosis came back. Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It is a genetic disease that takes the muscles one at a time, and it mostly takes boys.
Michael went into a wheelchair. Later he needed a ventilator to breathe.
Here is what Ernie Johnson says about getting that news.
"What's amazing is the value reveals itself."
He lived 33 years.
Here is how his father put it when it ended.
"This guy we adopted from Romania in 1991 and diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy lived a miraculous life of 33 years."
And then this.
"We lost michael johnson today and we're crushed. But we also know we'll see him again, and that sustains us."
That was five years ago.
Today Ernie Johnson announced that this is his last season hosting Inside the NBA. Thirty-seven seasons in that chair.
He wanted one thing understood.
"Just to be clear, I'm not retiring."
"Just cutting back."
He called it a turning of the page. Thirty-seven seasons means he was in that chair before most of the people watching him were born.
He is still doing March Madness and other work for TNT and CBS. He also started a production company and named it 32 Bowties, and the whole point of it is telling feel-good sports stories.
Of course it is.
Now go back one more generation.
His father was Ernie Johnson Sr., who pitched for the Milwaukee Braves, was a teammate of Hank Aaron, and was on the 1957 team that won the World Series. He went 7 and 3 with four saves that season. Those Braves are still the last team from Milwaukee to win one.
Then he put the ball down, went into a booth, and called Braves games from 1962 until 1999.
So the son is stepping back from a microphone 64 years after his father first sat down behind one.
Be straight about it. A man leaving a studio show is not a tragedy. He is 70 years old, he had a long run, he is not even fully leaving, and plenty of people would take that deal.
But here is the line he keeps coming back to, from a speech he gave in 2019.
"There's value in everybody."
He did not learn that in a television studio.
He learned it from a boy in Romania that his own wife said was more than they could handle.
I've never been a big NBA fan, but I absolutely a fan of Ernie! This short video is only the tip of the iceberg of why.

The Brewers are being celebrated like they invented baseball.
They are doing things that have become unusual.
They have an old school tough manager who players love playing for.
They focus on basic easy to understand basic fundamentals.
They have a hitting coach that was an overachieving player for skill that played in the big leagues.
They hit the ball the other way.
They value putting the ball in play.
They adjust their approach based on situation and count.
They are not addicted to exit velocity and launch angle bullshit.
They bunt and steal bases.
They do not have selfish superstars that need to be treated like celebrities.
The Brewers simply play the game how it was meant to be played.
The Brewers are putting on a clinic on how to hit with two outs. My goodness.
I think the Rays put in the wrong pitcher out of the bullpen! #GasOnAFire
