Fox isn't the only culprit here. Peyton has always been ballwashed as being a "field general" capable of calling and changing plays. And, yet, for the whole game, both Fox and Manning played conservative. At both the end of the first half AND the end of the second half, the Ravens scored a TD and the Broncos had the ball with time and timeouts but, instead of trying for a score, they sat on it. They ran the ball a ridiculous amount of times (over 40 IIRC), including FIVE TIMES TO THE SAME GUY at the end. If I were a Broncos fan, I'd be beyond pissed.
