I’ve seen a lot of people calling the Broncos extremely lucky to get an extra attempt at the game ending field goal. While I agree we are lucky, I believe many are undervaluing the decision to rush the field goal team out there. Catching the defense unprepared was great strategic decision. The miss was unfortunate, but our strategy pulled through. It is refreshing to see this level of coaching late in the game.
There were several sequences of events that came together to allow the Broncos to be in the position to execute that play. I appreciate the fact that they clearly have practiced it more than once and executed it to perfection. All the luck that got us to that point though… that was what won the game.
