The BT Staff gives out Game Balls following the Denver Broncos‘ 29-23 overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wild Card Weekend. The first-ever playoffs edition of BT Game Balls tastes about 100 times sweeter than every other edition combined. One last blissful look back, then we pull our attention to New England.
Demaryius Thomas
Hell of a game to pick for a career breakout there Bay-Bay. We were somewhat devastated after seeing Eric Decker go down with a nasty knee injury early, it started to feel a bit gloomy in Mile High.

If it weren't for the five weekdays that separate games, I could easily make the case that NFL playoff time is the very best time there. And even with the break, it's still pretty fantastic. The opening round of the playoffs reminded us of that reality, when even the blowouts were fun to watch. The Saints easily could have lost but ended up winning by 17, and the Giants trailed...
