We don’t even want to think about what the players’ social media would have looked like if the Denver Broncos hadn’t gone on to win their Monday Night Football matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Fortunately we’re not living in a world where the Broncos are still awaiting a playoff berth because their kicker missed a potential game-winning field goal in the closing seconds of regulation.
Nope, we’re happy right here in the land where five straight seasons of playoff football will happen (presumably with another game in Denver) and Brandon McManus got redemption by kicking the eventual game-winner in overtime. And so are the members of the team.
They were all smiles postgame, sharing their jubilation for another playoff berth and a huge win via social media. Here are some of the best reactions, direct from the players across their various social platforms…
Despite his tough night, Brandon McManus will not be shaken…
Need to make the first one. But I will never lose confidence in myself
