As I write this, the 1-99 narrative is getting thrown around because CBS decided a 5-year cutoff was a good way to sell the amazing comeback Minnesota had over the Broncos. Blowing a 20 point lead sucks. There’s not really a way to sugarcoat that. I’m mad about how things went at the end and freely admit it.
One of the biggest reasons the loss sucks is how it’s going to overshadow so many of the great performances by young players today. If Brandon McManus makes a kick and follows it up with a point blank make to ice the game?
