6:28 P.M. EDT: Brutal efficiency for the Colts on their drive as the fourth quarter begins … but Joseph Addai is now slow to rise after being it at the Indy 45-yard-line. He gets up and leaves the field under his own power.
6:33 P.M. EDT: Broncos now need to tighten on defense; Colts have first-and-20 at the Denver 36 … and even with Addai out, the Colts can still pound the football; 22 yards later, and the Colts are back in the Broncos red zone.
6:35 P.M. EDT: Five-of-five for the Colts in the red zone … With 10:56 left, the Broncos trail 35-20.
6:37 P.M. EDT: Indianapolis now has 175 rushing yards and is averaging 7.0 yards per carry as the Broncos run defense continues to be gashed.
6:41 P.M. EDT: Cutler, under pressure, rolls right and heaves a deep pass for Brandon Stokley … but a pair of Colts defenders are there to stop the play.
6:42 P.M. EDT: Henry is back in. So much for my skepticisim. He promptly darts 12 yards for a first down. Broncos are down two scores, but their pace is not panicky.
6:43 P.M. EDT: Third-and-7 from the Denver 35 … Cutler in the shotgun … Selvin Young alongside him … Cutler under pressure, throws it short for Marshall and incomplete. With 8:41 left, the Broncos send the punt team onto the field.
6:44 P.M. EDT: Sauerbrun clobbers a 65-yard punt into the end zone for a touchback. Colts will take over possession with 8:33 left.
6:49 P.M. EDT: Colts again on the move; they are now at the Denver 43-yard-line with 6:50 remaining.
6:51 P.M. EDT: Colts now at the Denver 31 as the clock moves under five minutes … Indianapolis’ ground game is starting to bleed the Broncos’ hopes dry at this point.
6:57 P.M. EDT: Denver forces a stop on downs and uses its timeouts to preserve 2:38 on the clock … but all Adam Vinatieri has to do to put the Colts up three scores is hit a 22-yard field goal, which he does.
7:02 P.M. EDT: Dwight Freeney hits Cutler from behind, jarring the ball loose … The Colts recover at their 43-yard-line, and with the Broncos out of timeouts, the game is effectively done.

yea i feel the same Broncomania56…i mean i just want that mile high salute…i want TD back…a player who actually cared and played because he loved the sport, the only players i see like him are foxworth, bailey, and lynch, all the other guys just dont look like they care at all, they make half hearted tackles and always let the running back fall forward, they should be driving him back, and i wish all the players o nthe team could read this, i know ill stay a bronco fan i love them i have a broncos license plate, colored room, fatheads, bumber stickers, jerseys and everything and i just love them, but they need to get their heads on straight
the offense moved the ball very well early and ran the ball great its been a lot of fun watching jay getting better he will only get better as the year moves on . as the defense struggles this year i hope the line starts playing well this sunday lets start by firing off the line of scrimmage we dont make a hit on a running back till he is up the field 3 yards i know the line is young we just need a better effort dj needs to play the run alot better i know he had 11 tackles but him and gold needs to get the defense playing together bly today should have blitz 2 or 3 times im not giving up on this team and they wont either. go broncos1!!!
Little too early to jump off the bandwagon guys. This division is wide open, as for the playoffs….?
It’s baffling to me how shocked you all seem to be about today’s game. The Colts own the Broncos, even when the Broncos are pretty good. So when we’re total crap on defense, of course we’re going to get lit up. Duh. So because I had this one marked down as a loss from the first time I saw this run defense, I don’t think I’m as upset as you all are. Let’s all just take a breath, and make the 1-3 Chargers prove they can beat someone who puts up more than 3 points before we go all sackcloth and ashes. We received the greatest gift a football team can get when our most talented Divisional rivals fired their coach and replaced him with one of the worst NFL coaches of the modern era. Any time you look on you opponents’ sideline and see Norv Turner, you have a chance to win.
no run D , no win but our team was’nt so bad against one of the very best of the league , in their home . Our weaknesses are so huge right now that it was simply impossible to win , the coaching staff needs to address that and then ….our offense showed very optimistic things , the season’s not over , we can’t stay so miserable in the rushing defense but please Mike , find a way to stop those damned runing backs !!!!
