- He credited the crowd, weather, and big plays like Kayshawn Boutte's touchdown for the memorable experience.
Home Defense Narrows The Gap
- Ryan Wormeli argues Denver at home and a strong Broncos defense make this a closer game than public narratives suggest.
- He believes Sean Payton's creativity and Denver's defensive strength reduce the margin even with a backup QB.
