Stop the fight. Ware and Miller are pummeling Vollmer and Cannon

Oh my goodness

40 yards to Gronk. Pats at the 10, 54 seconds left.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 1/24/2016 11:26:50 PM
4th-and-goal from the 4 with 17 seconds left. Patriots take final timeout.

TD Gronkowski

Missed PAT looming large.....

Broncos take their final timeout. Patriots trail 20-18, need a 2-point conversion with 12 seconds left to likely force overtime.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 1/24/2016 11:31:06 PM
On that drive, Brady completed 3rd 4th-and-10+ of his playoff career and 1st 4th-and-goal pass of his playoff career.

12 seconds left. Still an onside kick to go

by Ben Volin via twitter 1/24/2016 11:31:56 PM
2-point try fails. Patriots trail, 20-18. Onside kick coming up.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 1/24/2016 11:32:18 PM
And that will do it. #Broncos escape with a 20-18 win. A #Patriots season that began with so much promise ends in crushing defeat

FINAL: Broncos 20, Patriots 18

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 1/24/2016 11:34:27 PM
#Patriots began the season 10-0 and finished 3-5. Ravaged by injuries. But could've played at home today if only they beat Philly or Miami

by Ben Volin via twitter 1/24/2016 11:37:01 PM
Game decided by arguably the most dramatic 2-point conversion attempt in NFL history. 1st playoff 2-pt attempt ever w/team down 2 (or 1).

by Alex Speier via twitter 1/24/2016 11:38:17 PM
Brady has a couple of large, nasty scrapes on his left elbow

Gostkowski: "I feel like I lost the game. I feel sorry for myself, but I don't expect people to feel sorry for me."

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 1/24/2016 11:54:50 PM
That was the 8th missed PAT in playoffs since 1994. No missed PAT has ever come in such a close playoff game.

by Alex Speier via twitter 1/24/2016 11:55:23 PM
Gostkowski: 'I feel like I lost the game for the team...It's a sickening feeling.'

Edelman: "You’ve got to tip your hat to them. We didn’t play our best football. They made more plays when they had to. That’s why they won."

Early impression: #Panthers are going to smoke the #Broncos in the Super Bowl

by Ben Volin via twitter 1/25/2016 1:55:06 AM
Glass-half-full perspective: At least we don’t have to hear about #DeflateGate nonstop for the next two weeks
