The Broncos were driving late in the second half with a chance to add to a 13-3 lead. But Peyton Manning telegraphed a pass and the Vikings capitalized and nearly had a pick-six.
They converted the turnover into 7 points and Denver entered the locker room at halftime reeling.
Here’s what it looked like on social media from the Mile High Sports team and the Denver media at large.
Now it's a huge swing. Manning with a bad throw, picked off and the #Vikings are in field goal range.

Owen Daniels prevents what would have been a pick six — Manning looked for Caldwell and Barr jumped it.

Man was it any more obvious who the ball was going to?

Wow. Manning throws a pick that goes the other way Vikings ball at around the Broncos 35 yard line. Bad decision there.

Barr read Manning all the way. He dropped and waited fro the throw.

Manning stared down Caldwell the whole way. Barr read it and snagged it. Daniels saved a touchdown.

Wallace, wide open … touchdown, Vikings

Ouch! Turnover turned touchdown. Broncos lead cut to 13-10 with 12 ticks left.

Very costly pick by Peyton. 10-14 point swing there. Ouch.

There it is. Huge momentum shift here at Mile High as the Vikings bring it to 13-10. The stadium just got very loud for Vikings. Still weird
