Ever since Justin Simmons came down with his heroic interception, one thought won’t leave my mind.
No, it wasn’t whether T.J. Ward could have made the same play (he couldn’t, by the way). All I can think about is why couldn’t Simmons have been in the same position in 2012? Even though he would have been 19, there’s no doubt he would have made the play that ended the Baltimore Ravens season and sent the Denver Broncos to the AFC Championship Game. What could have been.
Instead, we saw the latest example of why the Broncos made the move to Simmons.
