Although the quarterback will get plenty of the credit for Sunday night’s thrilling win by the Broncos over the Patriots, running back C.J. Anderson was the difference maker, with 113 yards rushing and a pair of touchdowns -- including the 48-yard winner in overtime.
After the game, NBC’s Michele Tafoya asked Anderson to explain what happened on the play.
“Just really to be honest, I don’t know what happened,” Anderson said. “The hole opened up and I just took off.”
Plenty of Broncos may feel the same way about the entire game. Down 14-0 and then 21-7, the Broncos somehow scratched and clawed to take the lead, saw the Patriots force overtime, and then got it done after stopping New England on the first drive of the extra session.
