Broncos defense has absolutely insane first-quarter streak snapped
There are 31 other defenses who would barely notice a first-quarter deficit.
Then, there's that Broncos defense. They kept seven different 2015 opponents out of the end zone in first-quarter play, but couldn't get that streak to eight on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium:
The Colts needed a little help to snap the streak. Two crucial Broncos penalties gave their offense 20 extra yards to work with on their second drive of the game.
But credit Andrew Luck and T.Y. Hilton for beating the Broncos' staunch pass defense deep. When Frank Gore finished the job on a seven-yard run, it ended a streak of dominating defensive play.
