As everyone should know by now, today was a very special day for Demaryius Thomas and the Thomas family. Not only did he help earn his team a trip to the AFC Championship game for the second time in three years, but he had his mother in the stands for the first time in his football career.
And following the game, where DT caught the two-point conversion that gave Denver a late 7-point lead, his mother was not afraid to express her excitement.

And she’ll be walking home with a souvenir, too. Peyton Manning made sure of that.

This Broncos team has been through a lot this season, but it’s moments like this that prove how close the team really is; they’re fighting for each other.
Now, let’s hope DT’s family will be able to watch him two more times this season.
