Denver Post: The Broncos played as if they had stage fright. They
fumbled. They threw interceptions. They committed silly penalties
and flagrant fouls. Their quarterback, Jay Cutler, suffered a
finger injury on his throwing hand on the game's first play and
never was effective. Their two Baileys, outside linebacker Boss
and cornerback Champ, each suffered significant injuries in the
first half. The Broncos were so atrociously undisciplined and
defeated in such a significant game, they left the impression
their hearts and minds were directed more on the upcoming bye week
and their mini-vacations than on the Patriots. Remember, the
Broncos were trounced 41-3 by San Diego entering their bye week
last season. Cutler eventually had to get his hand treated late in
the second quarter and X-rayed at halftime. He returned in the
second half.
