Dolphins Up 12-0

October 23rd, 2011 - 1:15pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

The Dolphins put together an 11-play, 72-yard drive that spanned the third and fourth quarters, and capped it off with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Matt Moore to tight end Anthony Fasano.

It’s the first touchdown scored by either team.

Miami elected to go for two to try to stretch the lead to 14-0, but Champ Bailey had tight coverage on Brandon Marshall, and Moore’s pass fell incomplete.

Miami now leads 12-0, with Denver set to receive the kickoff. 14:54 remains in the game.

The drive included Miami’s first third-down conversions of the game — they had two and are now 2-for-10.

Broncos at Chargers: Fourth Quarter Notes

December 28th, 2008 - 9:41pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

15:00: The Broncos have a first-and-10 at the San Diego 49-yard line when play resumes.

Jay Cutler is in the shotgun with Tatum Bell to his right. He tries to find Eddie Royal downfield after avoiding pressure, but he skips it just short of the rookie. That brings up second-and-10. The offense breaks its huddle and jogs up to the line — there are four receivers out wide. Cutler drops back and avoids pressure from all angles — very impressive pocket presence — and finds Darrell Jackson for a 13-yard gain near the left sideline for a first down.

On the ensuring play, Cutler gets it to Brandon Marshall, who falls backwards for what looks like another first down.

13:42: In fact it’s second-and-1 for the Broncos after Marshall’s nine-yard gain. Cutler takes the snap in the shotgun and pitches it quickly to Tatum Bell, who runs forward for four yards and the first down.

On first down, Cutler avoids pressure once again, rolls out to his right and throws a bullet toward Tony Scheffler in the end zone, who was locked up with a defensive back. At the last second he leaps high in the air to haul in the touchdown pass.

The Broncos are going for two. Cutler is in the shotgun and takes off toward the end zone. He gets in on his own with a run up the middle. It looked like the same formation from the first time Denver ran a two-point conversion against the Chargers 15 weeks ago.

Now the Broncos trail the Chargers 38-21.

Broncos vs. Bills: Fourth Quarter Notes

December 21st, 2008 - 5:26pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

15:00: The Bills have a second-and-6 from their own 32-yard line when play resumes.

Trent Edwards drops back and finds running back Fred Jackson streaking down the right sideline. He makes the catch and reverses field to avoid Broncos defenders. He picks up 65 yards before being taken down by Dre’ Bly at the Denver three-yard line.

13:30: After a one-yard gain on first-and-goal, Edwards hands off to Xavier Omon for the second consecutive play, and he loses a yard after being taken down by Jamie Winborn and Josh Bell. On third-and-goal, Edwards’ pass is complete to Steve Johnson in the end zone. Dre’ Bly made a diving attempt to break it up, and may have gotten a piece of it, but Johnson got the touchdown.

The Rian Lindell extra point puts the Bills back on top of the Broncos, 23-20.

TWO UPDATES: For Buffalo, running back Marshawn Lynch’s return is questionable with a shoulder injury. For Denver, Jay Cutler is now just 17 yards away from breaking the franchise’s single-season passing yard record.

INJURY UPDATES: Hillis is out with a right hamstring injury and Mario Haggan has a right knee sprain and is questionable.

15:00: Broncos will have it first-and-10 at their 23 yard-line to start the fourth quarter.

Jay Cutler hits Tatum Bell for nine yards on first down and then has his pass intended for Daniel Graham deflected. Third-and-one, Cutler gives to Eddie Royal on the end around. Royal follows his blockers and gets eight yards and the first down.

13:20: On second down, Cutler hits a crossing Brandon Marshall who gets enough for the first down. Broncos now at midfield.

12:47: Cutler is not happy, not sure if the play didn’t come in or if there was a technical issue, but the Broncos use their final timeout.

Back from the timeout, Cutler pitches to Bell… Bell has room, he motors down the sideline for a big gain. 28 yards for Tatum Bell and the Broncos are at the 22 of Kansas City.

Broncos vs. Jets: Fourth Quarter Notes

November 30th, 2008 - 1:16pm by Kyle SonnemanOther posts by

15:00 We start the final frame with the Jets having the ball at their 36-yard line, first-and-10. Dewayne Robertson puts down his former teammate Thomas Jones for a short carry on first down. Favre rolls out of the pocket on second down and throws the ball away. Third-and-eight… Favre stands tall in the pocket and hits Chansi Stuckey for the first down at midfield. Another Bronco is down, this time Marquand Manuel.

Manuel made the big hit on Stuckey, but he seems to have gotten the worst of the hit.

14:01 First-and-ten at the Broncos 46-yard line. Josh Barrett has replace Manuel. First down bubble-screen to Stuckey nets the Jets seven yards. Favre hands to Jones on second down, but he is met by Wesley Woodyard. Third-and-three… the ball skips incomplete to Jerricho Cotchery.

Broncos vs. Raiders: Fourth Quarter Notes

November 23rd, 2008 - 5:27pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

15:00: The Raiders have a first-and-10 at the Denver 30-yard line. JaMarcus Russell drops back and lofts a pass to Darren McFadden who was streaking down the sideline. His legs got tangled up with Marquand Manuel’s and both players fell down. A flag is thrown and pass interference is called on Manuel. It’s a first-and-goal for the Raiders at the six-yard line.

14:54: Justin Fargas takes the handoff two yards before being brought down by Marcus Thomas. That brings up second-and-goal from the four-yard line, and Russell fakes a handoff before finding Ashley Lelie in the middle of the end zone for a touchdown.

The Sebastian Janikowski extra point is good, and the Raiders’ lead over the Broncos is extended to 24-10.

Broncos vs. Falcons: Fourth Quarter Notes

November 16th, 2008 - 10:10am by Kyle SonnemanOther posts by

15:00: Matt Prater is out to attempt the short field goal attempt. From 20-yards out, Prater is good.

Broncos 17 – Falcons 13, 14:56 remaining.

14:56: Harry Douglas is now back deep for the Falcons. He is replacing Jerious Norwood, who suffered a rib injury. His return is questionable.

Douglas is stopped by Louis Green, first down Falcons at the 23-yard line.

14:15: After short runs by Michael Turner and Matt Ryan, the Falcons have a third and nine that falls incomplete. Flag down, looks like offsides. Yep, Jarvis Moss got going a little quick. Third and five.

Broncos vs. Browns: Fourth Quarter Notes

November 6th, 2008 - 5:17pm by Kyle SonnemanOther posts by

15:00: Browns start the final quarter with a 3rd and 6… Brady Quinn rolls and finds Brayon Edwards for the first down, but I see laundry. Offensive pass interference on Kellen Winslow. It is now 3rd and 16… Louis Green sniffs out the bubble screen forcing a fourth down.

13:43: Dave Zastudill hangs a punt high into the Cleveland sky and Eddie Royal calls for the fair catch at the 7-yard line… On the first play Cutler hits Royal who takes it to the house for a 93-yard touchdown. Prater hits the extra point and just like that the Broncos are trailing by just three.

To say that play took a little air out of Cleveland Browns Stadium would be an understatement.

How about some stats after that play. The 93-yard touchdown is the second longest touchdown by a rookie in Broncos history and ties for the fourth longest touchdown pass. Cutler has now thrown for 336 yards, his fifth 300-yard passing day this season.

Broncos vs. Dolphins: Fourth Quarter Notes

November 2nd, 2008 - 5:24pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

15:00: The crowd at INVESCO Field at Mile High is still booing from an offensive pass interference call on Brandon Marshall, and the Broncos face a third-and-24 from their own 15 to begin the quarter.

Cutler avoids pressure from Joey Porter, stepping up in the pocket and launching a ball downfield toward Brandon Stokley. A Miami defender steps in front of the pass, however, for an interception at the Denver 43-yard line.

14:52: First-and-10 Miami, and the handoff is to Ronnie Brown. He’s brought down by Jarvis Moss for a loss of two.

On second-and-12, Chad Pennington floats a pass between the Denver defense for a 23-yard reception to Greg Camarillo. It’s first-and-10 for Miami on the Denver 22-yard line. Pennington takes the snap in the shotgun and hands the ball off to Brown — he’s brought down for a loss of one yard.

12:50: Brown takes another handoff and he’s immediately brought down by Jamie Winborn. The play gained no yards, and it’s third-and-11 from the Denver 23 for Miami. Pennington is almost sacked, but avoids the pressure and gets the ball off — but it’s incomplete. Dan Carpenter is out to attempt a field goal. The 41-yarder is good, and it puts the Dolphins ahead of the Broncos, 19-10.
