Broncos coach John Fox prepped his team about the league’s new overtime rules last week. The Broncos were reminded of them again before overtime started.
Not everyone was 100% confident in their grasp of the rules, however, when the overtime actually began.
Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas said with a laugh Monday he wasn’t actually sure the game was over until he saw the reaction of everyone around him.
“I saw Champ run up to me in the tunnel, and I was like, what’s going on?” Thomas said Monday.
Thomas may not have known the overtime rules, but he knows how to stiff arm. The Broncos will take that tradeoff.
