Broncos at Cardinals: Gameday Coverage

August 31st, 2012 - 12:02am by Gray Caldwell

BRONCOS AT CARDINALS:

FINAL SCORE: BRONCOS 16, CARDINALS 13: Denver trailed 10-0 in the second half, but came from behind to secure a 16-13 victory on a 44-yard game-winning field goal by kicker Matt Prater.

The Broncos are at University of Phoenix Stadium to close out the preseason against the Arizona Cardinals. Players from both teams are on the field warming up — the Broncos in all-white uniforms, the Cardinals with red jerseys and white pants.

STARTERS WORK OUT: Earlier in the evening, a group of 25 Broncos hit the field for a workout with Strength and Conditioning Coach Luke Richesson. It was essentially the first-team offense and defense, so it likely signaled that group of players wouldn’t suit up for tonight’s game. With just about 25 minutes until kickoff, it became official — those 25 players won’t play.

CAPTAINS, COIN TOSS AND STARTERS: The Broncos won the coin toss and received to start the game. The starters looked a little different for the fourth preseason game.

CARDINALS ON THE BOARD FIRST: An acrobatic, 22-yard touchdown catch by Arizona rookie Michael Floyd gives the Cardinals a 7-0 lead in the second quarter.

BRONCOS SCORELESS AT HALFTIME: Denver nearly put points on the scoreboard right at the end of the second quarter, but a sack kept the Broncos scoreless at halftime.

CARDINALS LEAD 10-0: Arizona got into scoring position with a 52-yard bomb, but the Broncos defense held strong and forced a field goal.

BOLDEN PROVIDES SCORING SPARK: Cornerback Omar Bolden got the Broncos back in the game with a 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

ALL TIED UP AT 10-10: The running game powered the Broncos 94 yards down the field, and Matt Prater knocked home a field goal to tie the game.

INJURY UPDATE: Safety Duke Ihenacho has a mild concussion and will not return to the game.

BRONCOS TAKE LEAD LATE: An interception by cornerback Syd’Quan Thompson put the Broncos in scoring position, and Prater knocked home a 43-yarder to give Denver its first lead.

FEELY’S FIELD GOAL TIES GAME: Jay Feely hit a 35-yard field goal to tie the game 13-13 late in the fourth quarter.
