I don't want to have to win many more games like this. The Broncos still haven't allowed a TD, which is an incredibly good thing. They've only scored one TD on offense, though, which isn't quite so good.

Faced with a tough RB in the Chiefs' Larry Johnson (126 yards rushing), the Broncos D bent but didn't break. Johnson constantly picked up yards, big yards, but not when it really mattered.

Jake Plummer was adequate (and I'm not one of those guys calling for Jay Cutler to start any time soon), not making any big mistakes, protecting the ball and settling for nothing when nothing was all that was available.

Though not a stellar offensive or defensive showing by the Broncos today, the good guys didn't commit any penalties and only allowed one turnover. They also allowed the Chiefs only 3 conversions on 14 third downs. These are the kinds of things that allow a team to win tough games even when the offense isn't clicking.

The most notable performance on offense was WR Javon Walker. After a couple of drops in week one, Walker caught 5 balls for 79 yards. His grabs were particularly timely with Rod Smith being unavailable for a big portion of the game. The running game, though not as dominant as it was against the Rams managed good performances from both Bells, Tatum tallying 69 yards and Mike adding 44.

In the end, though, the Broncos were lucky to come away with an overtime victory against a Chiefs team missing their starting QB.

The food was good down at Tim's, though, and I provided Chicken Feta Pizza. Amy was there as well, and though her pressence was welcome, she did find the need to flip me off once. I was drinking pretty heavily at the time so I don't remember all of the particulars, but I'm sure I said something that warrented said response from her.
