| AP Denver receiver Demaryius Thomas breaks away from Pittsburgh defensive back Ryan Mundy. Thomas' 80-yard touchdown was the game-winning score in a 29-23 win on Sunday. |
I suffered three increasingly worse Super Bowl losses in four years in the infancy of my Broncos fandom. I stuck with them through the years, like any faithful fan, and my loyalty was rewarded with back-to-back championships to send my hero John Elway into retirement on top. The team faded fast, showed a glimmer of hope a few years back, then watched the sun set again. After a allowing myself to believe in 2005 only to suffer another humiliating defeat, this time at the hands of the Steelers in the AFC Championship, I returned to only passing interest in Broncos football.
So, I still love the Broncos, but I don't get so caught up in the excitement and I hold fast to realism and skepticism. And that's how I feel about next week's matchup with the Patriots. I'll hope and pray (not really pray) but I don't expect another win. Still, today was fun, if a little anxiety-inducing. The 29-23 OT win, the fastest OT win in NFL history, was awesome! That's entertainment, folks.
To celebrate, I did a couple miles around the track. That felt good.
