To paraphrase world renowned Dodgeball analyst Cotton McKnight, the clock finally struck midnight on the Denver Broncos’ Cinderella story, turning the team into a proverbial pumpkin.
Down 22-10 entering the fourth quarter vs. the Houston Texans, the Broncos managed to not only strike within five points on a Russell Wilson touchdown, but had the ball inside the Texans’ 10 yard-line with 30 seconds to go. If the Broncos score, it’s game over, but the clutch magic that Wilson possessed the past several weeks was apparently left back in Denver, as the QB threw a game-ending interception on a third-down attempt.
