Patriots 27, Broncos 9: Dwayne Allen’s first catch of the year was a touchdown with 25 seconds left in the half. Jamaal Charles ran for 29 yards on the drive, that culminated with Brock Osweiler found Demaryius Thomas for a seven-yard touchdown. Patriots 27, Broncos 16: After stalling three times in the red zone in the first half, Denver finally punched one into the end zone in their first drive of the second half. The touchdown was made much easier for the Patriots thanks to Denver only having 10 players on the field on defense. Dion Lewis, who returned a punt 103 yards for a score earlier, punched this one in from nine yards out and has 47 yards rushing on 10 carries on the night. Patriots 34, Broncos 16: Just when it looked like Denver might make a game of it, New England answered with a quick-strike answer of their own, a 7-play, 75-yard drive to immediately match the Broncos’ touchdown. The good news is that Rice was talking and laughing with his fellow referees before getting carted off. Umpire Jeff Rice was inadvertently hit by Patriots linebacker Trevor Reilly, and Rice had to be carted off the field, leaving six referees for the remainder of the game. New England took advantage, extending a 16-play drive that not only produced Tom Brady’s third touchdown pass of the night, but also took 7:31 off the clock and drained all the remaining hope out of Sports Authority Field. Patriots 41, Broncos 16: After giving up a touchdown with too few players on the field earlier, the Broncos had too many players on the field for a potential punt return, giving the Patriots a first down, and making for an even longer night for Denver. The Patriots have won five straight games, while the Broncos have lost five straight. But we watched anyway! Tom Brady threw for three touchdowns and completed passes to nine different receivers as New England cruised to an easy road win. Before the season started, a Sunday night matchup between the Patriots and Broncos sounded like appointment TV.
