If at first you don’t succeed, just do it again … or something like that.
After Brock Osweiler and the Broncos drove down the field and Brandon McManus redeemed himself with a 37-yard field goal, it was the defense’s turn to play their part; they did.
On the Bengals first play of overtime, Von Miller came screaming around the outside, seemingly forcing a sack-fumble on AJ McCarron, though the refs didn’t see it that way; Broncos Country didn’t seem to agree.
That was a forced fumble for the win by Von Miller, in my biased orange and blue opinion.

Just not enough evidence, if they called it a fumble it would of stayed as a fumble too.

I bet Ed never even watched the replay. His mind was made up

Jerry Austin says “clearly a fumble,” but it’s not overturned? Replay sucks!!!! #Broncos

And while the Bengals were given one last chance, DeMarcus Ware defense made sure it didn’t last for long.

This time, though, the refs couldn’t deny that the Broncos won the game on a walk-off fumble recovery.

And with that play, the Broncos clinched themselves a playoff spot and placed themselves in position to walk away with the No. 2 seed with a win next weekend.
