The Broncos Didn’t Win

Whistle Me This…

The scoreboard says Broncos-39, Chargers-38, but the Broncos didn’t win.

With the Broncos charging, down by 7, Cutler fumbled at the 10. He dropped the ball sideways but his arm continued going forward, so the officials immediately ruled it incomplete and whistled the play dead. (Brady may be injured, but his legacy is still impacting games.)

The Chargers recovered the fumble uncontested.

After further review, the officials ruled that, wait, that was actually a fumble, but we whistled the play dead.

Great call. (Like Miller Lite.)

Now you can make the wrong call, review the play to find out you made the wrong call, then put up a meaningless excuse and take no blame.

The Broncos scored shortly thereafter then got the two-point conversion for the win.

Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall had 18 catches for 166 yards and 1 TD.

QB-wise, Culter had 350 yards and 4 TDs, and Rivers had 377 yards and 3 TDs.

You won’t find any of that on ESPN, though.

ESPN’s stats say that the game is over and that Andre Hall was the Broncos top receiver with 10 catches. Just about five minutes ago, they said that there was 9 seconds left and Chris Royal was their top receiver with 9 catches. Rivers still only has 217 yards.

Here their stats are, but I’m sure they will be completely updated in an hour or two or three after the time of this post.
