The Denver Broncos' decision to take a knee in a tie game at the end of regulation Saturday rather than go for a winning score against the Baltimore Ravens prompted plenty of second-guessers. However, Broncos president John Elway -- a man who once thrived with the ball in his hands in similar situations -- agreed with coach John Fox's choice to go to overtime. The Ravens tied the score with 31 seconds remaining when quarterback Joe Flacco hit Jacoby Jones with a 70-yard touchdown pass. Baltimore ultimately won 38-35 in double overtime. After the kickoff following Jones' score, the Broncos, who still had two timeouts remaining, got the ball at their 20-yard line. Fox ordered quarterback Peyton Manning to kneel down rather than attempt to complete a few passes to get into field-goal range. "To me, that was a good move to be able to regroup, get ourselves back together and start the overtime period," Elway said Monday when the team president and coach met ...

John Elway has been through this before

Via AP on Fox  |  January 15, 2013
John Elway has been down this lonely road before. The quarterback-turned-front office executive has now been a part of two playoff runs that ended not in the confetti-filled celebration expected of the AFC's No. 1 seed but with a painful introspection about what all went wrong in a stunningly early exit from the postseason party. Elway experienced it as a player in 1996, when...
