ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In the Jan. 11 divisional playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts, no player looked like he gave more of himself to the Broncos' cause than C.J. Anderson.
No play showed his indefatigable effort and intensity more than the last play of the third quarter that day, a fourth-and-1 trek that saw Anderson change directions in the backfield and elude five defenders before finally succumbing to D'Qwell Jackson's tackle after gaining seven yards.
If the Broncos had come back to win the game, Anderson's run would have taken its place in franchise lore, replayed on Broncos highlight reels for decades to come.
