We left the house about 8:30am in a blinding snowstorm. The roads were bad, and I mean bad, until we made it over Vail Pass. In fact, at the top of the Pass, the road was closed westbound to Vail, but thankfully open to Denver. Jag and I dropped Lori and Ty at my Mom’s and headed downtown to Elway’s to meet Josh and Jody for some lunch before the game. A few hours later we were at the stadium. It was electric outside with the parking lot packed. We headed inside and walked down to the bottom where all the action is. After a quick stop in the Team Store, with a few hundred other fans, we made our way up to our seats.
Now the first two thirds of the game was tough with both teams struggling on offense and the defenses playing pretty well. Finally around the 4th quarter, our defense and offense took over. With 3 minutes to go we took a 20 to 13 lead and after a field goal by each team it ended at 23 to 16. It was a hard fought game where our receivers dropped 6 or more balls. Hopefully next week when we play the hated Patriots, that won’t be the case.
Jag and I then dropped Josh and Jody at their rental car and headed to Grandma’s to pick up Lori and Ty. Ty had a great party at Jump Street, the trampoline place, while we were at the game. We headed up the hill about 6:10 and were home by 8:10. Everyone is tired this morning but it is what it is. Time to get moving so there you go. The AFC Championship game is next Sunday with the winner going to the Super Bowl. Hopefully that’s us!
God Bless
