This team doesn't have the grit yet IMO. They should have never lost site of the fact that they were whipping Denver's ass. Instead you could see the pressure crushing them simply because a bad ending to an awesome drive.

Everything you mentioned here say's they mentally played down to the competition. They weren't on their "A" game mentally on the offensive side of the ball is all I'm saying. You use the words "choke", "gripping hard", "laying down","Casseling" "no grit" "lost sight" tells me they mentally were much weaker today and played mentally weaker and closer to that of their competition but just enough to win.
