Highlights of the New England Patriots against the Denver Broncos in Week 16 of the NFL season
Chad Ryland kicked a career-long 56-yard field goal with two seconds left as the New England Patriots delivered a near-fatal blow to the Denver Broncos' playoff hopes with a 26-23 stunner on Sunday night.
The Patriots (4-11) scored a pair of touchdowns in a six-second span of the third quarter, before fending off a furious fourth-quarter rally by the Broncos (7-8) to record just their fourth victory of the season.
Ryland's kick capped a seven-play, 44-yard drive that began with 58 seconds left after the Broncos went three-and-out having tied the game with a pair of long touchdown drives and 2-point conversions on its previous two possessions.
