I got the opportunity to go to the last Bronco game of the season with my younger cousin Kyle. They played the Minnesota Vikings (My husband's team - but my husband was already back in Idaho so he couldn't go with me). The Vikings had a shot at making the playoffs IF they won the game. The Broncos were kicking their butts in the first three quarters, the Vikings were playing like crap and the Broncos were doing well on defense. It was looking like the Broncos had it in the bag.
In the fourth quarter, the Vikings came back and the Broncos turf had becomed threatened. The game ended up in overtime and the Vikings had the ball. Then, the Broncos made an amazing interception and won the game with a field goal!
I can't remember all of the exact details. As most of you know, I have a basic knowledge of most sports but I am lost on all of the technical language. I am still learning all of that. I will tell you that it was thrilling to be at the game (even though I was freezing - it was well worth it). This was my first time at invesco field and I loved it! The attendance was around 70,000, which blew me away since that is more than the amount of people that live in Idaho Falls.
I sound like a Idaho girl when I talk like that. I was born in Denver and most of my family lives there so we go back at least once a year. The Broncos are in my blood, I don't even know what other NFL team I would possibly root for, but I am proud to be a Denver Broncos fan!
Here are some pictures from the game:
This is my cousin and I....I know that you probably don't care - but I'm sharing anyway.
This is to show how close we were, I didn't zoom in - but these guy's heads are in the way.
For the guys...

Great commentary and there is never a need to apologize for your favorite team although your cousin should apologize for wearing one of the worst fashion mistakes I have ever seen. Takes courage to wear something like that. And then the photo for the guys is out of focus and why would take a picture of the cheerleaders anyway? And I'm glad you had the opportunity to see your favorite team play. The cost of pro sports these days makes it not worth the price sometimes.
I wasn't apologizing for my love of my team - I was explaining where an "Idaho Girl" got the love.
I bought him that hoodie! :P
About the cheerleaders - that's digital zoom for you, and I got picture happy during the breaks. I took a picture of the snow under my feet too!
It was a blast though! Thanks for letting me share!
