> [@asterion](#): > > Could this wind up worse than Super Bowl XXIV? I was just looking through the Broncos playoff games. The only worse (so far) are 49-10 and 55-10. So the Patriots don’t need much. ---

The Pats just fumbled the ball away. So either the comeback is on for Denver, or New England is about to get really mad. ---
