Has anyone ever seen that big of a postseason flop by a safety? Wow...

How the XXXX do you take a knee with Peyton Manning and two timeouts?

Not sure how you can root against Manning, unless you are a Patriots fan.
I might be mistaken, but I thought it was three timeouts.
Regardless...most teams play to win, and taking a knee there was clearly playing to not lose.
Posted by witchcraft, voodoo and technological kung fu.
Either way they were playing scared.

The Broncos had two timeouts left. Most people who have played football and know football well enough would have done the same thing with only like 30 seconds left.
Remember that INT Manning threw at the beginning of the game, where the ball was tipped and the Ravens picked it off? That's what they were trying to avoid by just taking a knee. Who knows what crazy thing could have happened in that 30 seconds. If Manning would have turned it over the Ravens would have had excellent field position. No one wants to lose a game like that and have their season end that way, that's why the logical thing to do is always just go to OT where you can control what goes on more than just in that 30 second window.
Sure the Broncos lost, but I don't think it was the offense or coaching or special teams that lost it for them, it was the defensive backs. Champ needs to retire he was getting torched all night long and the rest of the DBs and corners need to go. That was probably the worst pass coverage I have seen all season and possibly of all time. How can you let a receiver get behind you as a safety when there is only like a minute left and then let that receiver score a touchdown?
The loss of this game is no doubt on Champ and the other DBs.
Either way they were playing scared.
