Week 10 @ Denver Broncos.

Let me just say..this was ONE HELL OF A GAME.

The first 3 quarters consisted of tough defense (that and a combination of the offenses not getting anything going, mistakes they made that had nothing to do with the D). As usual Buffalo shut down the run and held Denver to only 47 rushing YDS for the game. As soon as I'd pull away, DEN would score and stay in the game, I couldn't get more than an 8 point lead in the second half. With about 6 minutes left Manning hit Demaryius Thomas for a TD that brought them within 2, but luckly they didn't convert for 2. I did everything I could to run the clock out, but eventually had to punt with a few minutes left. Denver drove down, while using a lot of clock, and got all the way to my goal line. Somehow I stopped them from getting in the end zone and Pratter hit an easy 18 YD FG for the lead with 27 seconds to go. Of course I only had a few options here, but I had all my TOs and I wasn't trying to force anything. I gained a few yards here and there and chipped up field, but I got caught in bounds and had to burn a few TOs along the way. For some reason (must be bad AI) they pressed Grahama and he got an excellent release and streaked by Sam Shields, Rahim Moore came over from his Safety position, but wasn't in time as Phillips delivered a beautiful ball over the shoulder hitting Graham in stride to scamper down the field for the game winning TD. I went for two in case they scored again, but didn't convert. I squibbed so they couldn't return and time ran out on Champ Bailey's return and we had won.

TJ Graham is really coming alive with his second straight 100+ YD receiving game and is starting to become a nice second year deep threat on a team lacking a lot of downfield options. His development will have a huge impact on the future of this team if he continues to play like he has the last few weeks.

This game was a great play and was a lot of fun.

NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS

CJ Spiller got hurt early in the second with an abdominal tear, the in game medical center said he'd be out 4 weeks (he just came back! ugh) and Fred Jackson went down a few minutes after that with a partial PCL tear (4 weeks). The post game injury report gave me some good news and that Spiller would only be out 1 week and Jackson was going to be gone for 4. I picked up Chris Ivory for $680k just to have a 4th back on the roster for times like this with Goodson the only health back at the moment.
