The Denver offense was - let's face it - TERRIBLE the first 3 quarters of the game. Then they caught fire when it mattered most, fighting back to seal the deal.

Even more special was that this was homecoming weekend, celebrating not only all of the Broncos players of the past, but specifically the 10th anniversary of the Broncos' Super Bowl 50 championship team. And better than all - it was the weekend Demaryius Thomas was inducted into the Broncos Ring of Fame at halftime.
