ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Audric Estime believes there is a time for a running back to put his head down and keep churning -- make his crease and push the pile. That approach helped him work past some early-season fumbles, but its effectiveness might have been best illustrated on the Denver Broncos' final drive in Kansas City this past Sunday.
That 43-yard drive, which set Denver up for a potential statement win before it was cruelly extinguished by a blocked 35-yard field goal attempt on the game's final play, worked exactly as designed.
