1. Game of the week. Perhaps the game of the year?

2. Shanahan is the smartest man alive. A 2-pt conversion with 29 seconds left to win the game? No one makes that call.

3. The football gods were smiling on the Broncos.

     b. The Champ Bailey interception in the 1st quarter should have been reversed.
     c. The Jay Cutler incompletion in the 4th quarter should have been a fumble.

4. Why isn't Brandon Marshall on my fantasy team? 18 receptions, 166 yards, 1 TD. Not a bad first game.

5. Why isn't Tony Scheffler on my fantasy team?

6. Defense? Both teams apparently forgot to bring theirs to the game. Let's try harder next week, Broncos.

7. Two heartbreakers in a row for the Chargers. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost....

For more in-depth coverage of the 2pt conversion heard 'round the world, check out Broncos Examiner, John Bena.

I’ve been playing fantasy football since the early 2000s, and it has brought much joy into my life. But I must admit that I’ve never been very adventurous in choosing a provider. When it comes to fantasy sports, I’ve been a Yahoo! guy... Read More
