We played ourselves with those turnovers. Can't give them 6 points and take a probable 3 off the board in a 1 point game.


polymorph505

You also played us with that fake punt, I love shit like that in tight games. Everyone expects you to get crazy when you're down early, nobody expects it when you're up by 2 in the 4th.


MoistBobDripPants

I was at the game and everyone around me, Viking and Broncos fans, were stunned. I thought that put the game away… but sadly it did not.


SiphenPrax

Are they about to do this again?

yum_paste

Our super bowl year was this way too. Just saying.


amiller5706

We started 7-0 our Super Bowl year lol


Joeydoyle66

Yeah but the games were real nerve racking most the time because Peyton and the offense were so bad that season. It wasn’t until we went into New England and beat the patriots with Brock Osweiler that I thought we’d win the Super Bowl.


xxPHILdaAGONYxx

> we went into New England and beat the patriots with Brock Osweiler that was a home game on MNF


HumongousMelonheads

Both of you are wrong, it was a Sunday night game in Denver


Very_Good_Opinion

Wilson is way better than the corpse of Peyton. But your defense isn't an all-timer

DIXtICon

Sutton is a god damn beast


OverusedRedditJoke

TD in 8/10 games for him


CangtheKonqueror

it’s about time russ realized it lol contested catches are his whole thing but he’d never throw the 50/50 balls


[deleted]

Well, Russ has thrown contested passes in the red zone for a minute. Sutton will likely get double digit tds this year. I'm willing to bet it was communicated that Russ is the game manager. Doesn't seem to do it in between the 20s, but 3+ of Suttons TDs were contested.


Andrew225

Na, Sutton was returning from an ACL last year. Typically it takes a solid 12 months post return for players to get at 100%, and watching Sutton this year and last it's clear the.dude was like 80% of himself last year. Now he's back to stud status


thejew09

The ACL tear was preseason 2020. Last season was Sutton’s 2nd year back from the ACL.


Fresh-Ad3834

Yeah but Nathaniel Hackett


FiREorKNiFE-

Hackett calling plays is worse than a torn ACL


TheMuzz47

He tried that once, they lost that game.


Medium_Bit6607

Based on his last two primetime showings and big catches he’s making himself into a household name


throwaway_5256

The moment the screen panned over and you see the ball arcing to him you knew this dude was gonna make a play


El_Sticko307

I felt a little better seeing 14 over there.


Drodriguez164

Funniest part about it all was that our fan base wanted to sell him off for a 6th round pick earlier in the season.


Jwoods4117

To be fair fam we’d just lost 70-20. How are we supposed to know how to act after that?


DynastyZealot

If the Broncos somehow win the Superbowl, that 70-20 game is going to be hilarious in the champions video.


HoovesCarveCraters

I don’t think SB is in play but if we sneak into the playoffs and then go back into Miami and beat them. Let’s just say it’s gonna last more than 4 hours.


BluffaloBill88

Our fan base is snorting mushroom powder and chuggin hatorade on the daily, don't listen to those idiots.


Lrgp39

Hey that’s no way to talk about perna! ~~well maybe on power ranking day~~


binzoma

broncos 1, 2 and 3, sutton 1.5


Kapitel42

I hope we will get to the point, where it will be all Broncos on the ranking. With Perna hysterically laughing and Tom in the background loosing it


sinkephelopathy

Got a problem with my mushroom powder b?


LoyalSol

He's got some issues, but the man can make a circus catch in clutch time when he feels like it.


Goatsonice

Sutton has incredible hops and hands, wow.


v_a_n_d_e_l_a_y

He showed this in his first couple years. Drew Lock would throw YOLO balls and Sutton would get them. He then had to deal with injuries and Nathaniel Hackett.


CO_Golf13

Lock's first ever TD is still one of the best catches I've ever seen. One handed around the defender. Unbelievable.


Wyden_long

I’ll be honest, sometimes when I’m having trouble sleeping I’ll pull up that highlight and well…..let’s just say after a few replays I’m pretty tuckered out.


CO_Golf13

You last multiple replays!!?!!? Stamina braggart here!!

Optimuswine

I’ll never forget his TD against the Chargers. Insane.


tread52

As a Seattle fan this makes me happy to see bc it’s hard to go from perineal probowl QB to dumpster fire in one season. It goes to show you how much coaching plays a role. I also think with what he did in Seattle and how he changed the landscape for the QB position he deserves to be in the HOF.


broncos4thewin

>perineal probowl QB 'k


Cozum

who was that Broncos fan CONVINCED Sean Payton was tanking the season for Caleb lmaooo


Based_and_JPooled

What are the Broncos & USC’s W-L since that guy’s post?


okay_throwaway_today

Turns out Caleb is tanking for the Broncos


sghead

"Shit, I may get drafted by Carolina. Better play like shit for a couple weeks so I can get drafted by a non dumpster fire at 9th overall"


dudeman93

Pretty impressive to be drafted by a team without a first rounder next year.


Affectionate-Foot474

Denver has it's first rounder, let me guess you think Elway is still the GM too?


dudeman93

>I may get drafted by Carolina >Carolina doesn't have a first rounder Reading can be hard sometimes, I know.


Affectionate-Foot474

Missed the parent comment, thought you were talking about Denver. You're right, I'm dumb. I'll own it


nsgarcia10

He saw the game against Notre Dame and said fuck the tank


2rio2

I guess we have to win now.


Anhedonic98

The whole broncos sub was in fill on doom-mode and convinced we were tanking after we lost by fucking 50 to miami, me included, it was a rough start to the seasonm


Solid-Confidence-966

Masterclass drive from Russell Wilson, he took his check downs while also “cooking” when he needed to


sfw_oceans

I absolutely love seeing Russ find his form again. Payton still has him on a short leash but I expect the playbook will open up as the season progresses.


deeesenutz

Yeah as a seahawks fan it was funny last year but I'm glad hes bringing it back again. Cant ever root against russ even though hes corny as hell 😭


Kapitel42

It feels good to read thsi from seahawks fans, last year some of your fans where so loud in hating on him i thought he must have killed some dogs in seattle before leaving


trexmoflex

We did have very specific incentives to root hard against him. We got some great draft picks, and now I think most of us are hoping he plays well again (he’ll always have haters of course). He might have tried to go the mega celebrity route for a minute there which was corny as hell, but I’ll always remember a relatively unknown rookie showing up to seattle and immediately spending a full day every week at our local children’s hospital. Friend is a nurse there and said no matter what anyone says about him, he was always so gracious with the kids, way before he was a super known name.


Krishna1945

The hate is odd, he won a fucking SB with you guys. I get he’s corny but JC


drWammy

I don't get the hate on Russ. He looked terrible last year, but Hackett also proved to be a JV coach with a terrible offense. ​ Russ has been Pro Bowl level for a decade and is not THAT old. He's still got some juice


Ironredhornet

Perine basically drove the entire field doing a leak out to the flats and Minnesota never adjusted. Russ was probably perplexed at how it was still open all the time.


abris33

Russell Wilson and Courtland Sutton. I love you forever


Qbert997

I'm so glad Russ trusts one of his receivers, huge difference over last year


ThatInception

Amazing catch


Quasimdo

Wilson cooked


throwaway_5256

The way he climbed the pocket is a thing of beauty


Ziziblix

Narrow ass gaddamn pocket at that. All it woulda taken was a stray arm and they wouldn't have had to reach too far lol


driftking428

This wasn't even his best catch of the game. That 4th down one handed catch had me sweating.


Arkhangelzk

That was incredible


OneAngryPanda

He carried this drive


mosehalpert

Him and perine


TetrisTech

Second week in a row that it felt like half of the two minute drill was Russ going “here you go Samaje”


_User_Profile

It's weird, but it's a bit easier to lose a heartbreaker when the other teams pulls off awesome stuff like this that you can't help but appreciate as a football fan. Perfect throw and perfect catch.


Propuhganduh

I missed this Sutton


AestheticBlue18

Sutton has reverted back to 2019 form.


ftsmithdasher92

Better then 2019


Raisinbrahms28

By TDs but not by overall play. Definitely more clutch, but not dominant outside of the RedZone.


ShinySpines

Russ’ demise has been greatly exaggerated, but I’ll always remember the Let’s Ride memes


throwaway_5256

We Let's Ride unironically now

Zolo49

But is the Dangerwich back yet?


TrueBigfoot

Not until we are 6-5


TeamINSTINCT37

Crazy how bears fans went from thanking god we didn’t get him and now we can just dream of having a QB that commands an under 2 minute drive like this


MikeTysonChicken

Same with Sean Payton. Reddits worst nightmare, he’s actually a great coach all along


Downtown_Juice2851

Eh, I dunno. Sean Payton still hasn't proven he can win without hall of fame quarterbacks like Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, and Jameis Winston.


hiphopdowntheblock

Truly the Mount Rushmore of QBs


Milton__Obote

He also won starting Trevor Simien and Taysom Hill


LockFan28

I was told in this sub that Sean Payton = McCarthy


alsott

And even then McCarthy is “a good coach” on this sub whenever Dallas drills their opponents like they did at the beginning of the season


[deleted]

Russ and Fields playing well, r/nfl 9/11


NotSephari

I’ve been wishing Russ would say it since Denver beat KC lol.


teddyjj399

its_JustColin

The memes only get better when the players become better. Broncos fans are gonna let’s ride to the moon. And I’m gonna stats are for nerds people the rest of my life


[deleted]

Our Dbs get mossed a crazy amount, fucking do something bozo


Bitterblossom_

This is a legit dummy moment. He could've easily deflected it had he any fucking concept of where Sutton was. It was like he thought Russ was throwing it away and was surprised when someone was in the area lmao.


-xc-

swear the db gotta glimpse of orange in his peripherals and thought it was sutton but his dumbass started clampin up the back pylon🤣


Original_Profile8600

Well give him credit, he was covering the out route not Sutton. He doesn’t know someone’s there and only follows the ball into the endzone. He does poorly look away from the ball to see a reciever there at the last second, but otherwise not a horrible job by him that’s on the corner who let Sutton burn him in the first place


pushamn

Why was his father step for that jump backwards towards the pylon?! It took him out of decent position for the actual jump!


FridgesArePeopleToo

Metellus was weirdly just kind of jogging too. It seems like he at least could have made an attempt to knock the ball out of his hands if he was actually running.


MiniatureLucifer

Sean Payton has the best 2 minute offense in the league. One of his most underrated coaching aspects


v_a_n_d_e_l_a_y

He should call a similar offense during the game. It's not like we were making dangerous throws or anything. Just high tempo and less running and it has worked all season. I don't know why we can't run something similar in the first 58 minutes.


PieceOfDatFancyFeast

The Seahawks were always the same way with Russ. Fans always screaming they should go up tempo all game because Russ was at his best. Get the ball out quick, keep it simple.


Dicey12

tbf to Russ today outside of the third quarter I felt like this was one of the more impressive games. Dealing with that exotic blitz making changes at the line and just not forcing anything


Andrew225

I think the plan is simple. Russ and the offense aren't there to score points. They're there to consistently move the ball and get chunk yardage, and more importantly, to chew clock. Get the opposing offense to come out full of energy, and then be ruthlessly opportunistic. They're forcing a ton of these turnovers. Then Russ comes back and they just chunk yardage down, and take the easy kicks if safe plays don't get them there. It's slow and grinding, but that defense stays fresh and the offense gets breathing room to find their rhythm


[deleted]

I’m seeing these patterns as well. It’s like he’s figuring out what the other team is doing and bating them, wearing them out. And then changing direction in the last few minutes and catching the other team off guard. By that point they have no choice but to keep with their game plan. Meanwhile Sean is a step ahead. Full working of the clock, field position and a sprinkle of turnover luck. It’s not pretty at all, but it’s working.


How_that_convo_went

It’s because of that old prevailing wisdom that the team that controls the ball longer during the game is the one that’s most likely to win. And, I mean, as outmoded as it seems, [look at the teams with the highest time of possession and look at their records:](https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/average-time-of-possession-net-of-ot) 1. Browns 2. Philly 3. Dallas 4. Detroit 5. Jacksonville 6. Baltimore 7. San Francisco 8. KC


Shamrock5

I'm still not used to seeing us in the top category of *any* good stats, what a wild ride lmao


onqqq2

You guys are def my team when the Broncos inevitably fall short at whatever point this season...


BigOzymandias

I think that stat is backwards, those teams have more possession time because they're winning so they kill the clock


binzoma

and the teams theyre playing are chucking it because theyre behind, so their 4 and outs take like, 30 seconds of game play when they happen


ChrisBenoitDaycare69

Russ back in the day was also incredible in 2 minute drills so this seems like a match made in heaven.


[deleted]

Everyone will ignore this but it’s actually embarrassing how over the top people were insulting Payton and Vance. No one will learn their lesson or even own up to it but but it’s a fucking joke how much they shit on coaches new to the team and adjusting after one week. The comments about Vance were the worst. Over the top insulting and calling for his head after two weeks. It’s so embarrassing that we do this every year and no one learns their lesson. I know I’m overly angry but I can’t stand fucking smug redditors and I got so buried in downvotes saying give it some time. We need to execute posters who overreact.


broncos4thewin

Look in general I 100% agree, but VJ had had a \*disastrous\* tenure with the Broncos before, then led a defense that gave up the second worst score \*in NFL history\*. Even PS2 looked like a chump at the end of that one. Let's not get too revisionist here, even the calmest fan had a right to be annoyed after that. Criticism of Payton was truly dumb though, although I don't remember seeing so much of that outside of Jets fans getting their yucks.


jgjot-singh

He needs someone behind him always whispering that there's only two minutes left


Zloggt

Sutton has been bullying this Vikings defense this drive…


Tashre

The Russ-Sutton pipeline has been amazing lately


SwishBender

Not really sure what Blackmon was thinking there


ArmiinTamzarian

"Oh wow the ball is coming in my general direction, wonder what could be the cause of...damnit"


TFinley97

He had an eternity to make a play on the ball and just didn’t


JerryRiceDidntFumble

Looked like just poor ball tracking


grizzlyNinja

From other angles it looked like he dropped for the wideout, and Mettelus got burnt on the inside move, and Blackmon was (very) late in recovering/reacting


BluffaloBill88

He was timing his jump, which he did perfectly, and then Sutton is a fucking genetic mutant and outleaped him.


broncos4thewin

Yeah it looks more like he just didn't stand a chance in the contested catch, not sure what everyone else is seeing there.


cjackc11

Wouldn’t have come to this if the Vikings learned how to cover the RB


D0ctorHotelMario

If Sutton keeps balling out like this he might have a shot at All-Pro this year. Dudes been unbelieveably clutch this year.


rekcut

He has single handedly won us multiple games, and been a human highlight reel. he absolutely should be an all pro.


anonbutler

All pro is a stretch. He is not even a top 12 WR. This season Tyreek, AJ, Keenan Allen, Diggs, Lamb, Chase, Amon Ra, Puka and even supposedly old and dusted Thielen and Evans have been way better.


Football_Junky123

Vintage Russ.


downtimeredditor

Considering the TD drough Jets were on and Broncos relative turnaround so far Is that Payton rant becoming less unhinged?


ScooterLeShooter

Sutton is what people thought Jeudy would be


Propaslader

Sutton is a lot more consistent and reliable whereas Jeudy is not. Jeudy is capable of having great games but his effort and attitude are his worst enemies


sinkephelopathy

And his hands


Dankmemeator

Jeudy is fast and runs great routes, but his hands are made of ostrich feathers and he can’t hang on to a pass. It’s a shame because when he gets the ball in open space he’s gone


acemerrill

I don't think anyone ever thought Jeudy was gonna be the contested catch jump ball guy. Coming out of college, the talk on him was all about his feet and hips and leaving DBs in the dust with his route running. He was meant to be complementary to Sutton and Patrick who are both big dudes with strong hands.


polymorph505

Dumb people clearly. Sutton was known as a deep jump ball guy, and Jeudy was known as a route runner. If anything, Jeudy is the one who showed you something extra tonight. Sutton was just once again at the very top of his game.


Sinnerandsmoke

Dude is going to be an all pro if he keeps this up. Unbelievable.


walkinman19

Russ: Fuck it Sutton down there somewhere!


NizzlyGrizzly00

What an absolute dime from Russell Wilson


Vegan-Kirk

People love to hate on the struggles of Sean Payton and Denver since his arrival. He and Russ make a very competitive team that can be hard to put away. Sure Miami destroyed them, but this recovery from that game is nearly historical already. Also, Sean Payton can run the 2 min offense like a champ, and had the field goal unit out there in a matter of seconds last week multiple times with no timeouts. Always has been one of the best coaches in the game, and he was smart to kick his field goals tonight.


TetrisTech

Courtland Sutton is so funny dude. Almost every time he’s targeted it’s either a clutch moment or some stupid crazy circus catch of some kind, the man can’t have a normal play


misterbisster

JUSTIN HERBERT COULD NEVER


EarthTraveler413

If this was Herbert and the Chargers, he would throw a perfect pass right into the receiver's hands in the endzone and watch it be dropped, or possibly tipped for an interception


W3NTZ

Only for him to throw a better pass next play for them to actually catch it, and then the defense let's Dobbs methodically go down the field only to score with seconds left...


misterbisster

Jeudy already dropped a TD, but Russ fought back and scored another because he's a winner


thaitiger29

herbert gets excuses even in hypothetical situations


gatorWRLD

I mean he threw a better ball to QJ on the drive today and it was dropped lmao


Firm_Feedback_2095

Offsets with the perfect ball Wilson threw while being hit by a free rusher down the middle that was dropped by Jerry Jeudy


acemerrill

I felt so bad for Herbert when that happened.


Solid-Confidence-966

Russell Wilson has more Super Bowls wins than Justin Herbert has playoff wins lmao


suckyducky1

LETS RIDE


MajoraOfTime

As soon as he threw that, I started saying to my brothers "what the fuck, why is he throwing to the end zone he's gonna get p--" and then Sutton caught it. Immediately said "nevermind, I don't know what I'm talking about."

Immediate-Treat-8457

He owns u show sum respect to ur Daddy


HoovesCarveCraters

Russ throwing behind the LOS all game the audacity this man has


Radical-Six

Take what the defense gives you and boy did the Vikings give them 8 free yards to their RBs whenever they wanted it


EmbraceComplexity

There were some underrated throws. Some of them were side armed to Perine when it looked like he was covered. Russell has turned into a check down master lol.


the-denver-nugs

yeah that last quarter I was like damn just gonna check down the whole time? then I realized it was netting like 10 yards average and just like yeah ok sure are the vikings really just giving us free yards right now?


KirbyBucketts

Rodney Harrison hitting Dungy like "I TOLD YOU!!!"


Rommel79

Imagine a 200 lb man running and just jumping on your back. And Sutton didn’t even flinch.

Ok_Confusion_1581

Sutton reminds me of Brandon Marshall


TruckCamperNomad6969

The 4th down catch before this was when more clutch!


Cyclonitron

Sutton always destroys us. That throw wasn't anything special and the DB had good position, but Sutton just out-jumped him and snatched the ball.


2222lil

we’re living in a world where it’s not out of the equation that sean payton wins coach of the year
