The Patriots won the toss in overtime, but were stymied by the fierce Denver defense. Per the overtime rules, all Denver needed was a field goal to secure that important "W" over the Patriots. Facing a third-and-1 from New England 48, Gary Kubiak called Anderson's number on a power sweep play to the left. The blocks were good, but Anderson was better. He shot through the hole like he was fired from a cannon, but was still able to fake out Duron Harmon enough to where the only thing he hit was a face full of snow. The Broncos actually scored two separate times using this play, as NBC commentator Chris Colinsworth astutely pointed out. In the second quarter, Ronnie Hillman put Denver on the board running the same play, but in the opposite direction. As trivial as it always seems when coaches site "execution" as a reason for winning or losing a game, this is a prime example of how crucial executing a simple play can be in a game as complex as the NFL.
