Denver was up 42-17 vs BAL in the 4th and gave up 10 late. (Won 49-27)
Denver was up 38-16 vs NYG in the 4th and gave up 7 late. (Won 41-23)
Denver was up 37-14 vs OAK in the 4th and gave up 7 very late. (Won 37-21)
Denver was up 52-13 vs PHI in the 4th and gave up 7 very late. (Won 52-20)

So, 31 of those 91 points against were in absolute garbage time when the games were decided. Yes, the points still count, but as everyone knows... points are scored when teams are in "put anything on the board mode" and the other team is resting on a comfortable lead.

Denver's defense has bent a bit at times, but they've adjusted really well. KC's defense is better overall at this point, and that's fine. Lots of young guys getting good experience with Denver's defense right now. I know that many said PHI would be "the test", but I'm guessing there is back tracking there...

I don't think Dallas wins this week, but they have power and are at home... but, they won't be able to go 'toe to toe' with Denver. See what Rivers did and expect more.

Now that KC is 4-0 and you guys are all feeling good again... It's going to be fun around here.

Shut the hell up. You guys are doomed in the cold with Manning. Just like last year. You won't get a ring with him.
