By TheSportsGuru Look at just the first drive.  The Broncos were inside the Patriots 35 yardline, and had the ball for over 6 minutes.  The crowd was quiet, the Broncos were shoving it down the Patriots throat, and that was obviously the game plan.  The fumble kills all of that.  Similarly, the 2nd drive moves in...
