Denver wore their commemorative AFL jersey from 2010, and lost the coin toss. Green Bay elected to receive first.
Tim converts on 3rd and 11, by threading the needle in the coverage to hit D.T. for the early Touchdown.
Aaron Rodgers looked to reply after a slow start, but the Denver defense were on a mission to make a statement on the season.
Aaron Rodgers continues to struggle in the 2nd Quarter, throwing a horrible pass into Von Millers hands.
Green Bay gets 2 quick Field Goals in the last minutes of the First Half to bring the score to 14-6 going into the Second Half.
Willis McGahee keeps the chains moving, and runs the clock while Denver aims to slow the game right down in the second half.
Aaron Rodgers finally hits his stride, and his receiver across midfield.
Green Bay add another field goal, to come within 2 points with 2 minutes to go. The Broncos keep running the ball, and get 2 First Downs to ensure the Packers don't get another offensive possession.
Tim Tebow kneels out the clock, to bring the Broncos to 2-2, and their first road win this season.

Despite the win, it comes as a cost, as the Broncos suffer 2 injures during the game, losing Nate Irving for 2 weeks with a Dislocated Kneecap, and Champ Bailey, who tore his Tricep, will be out for the rest of the season, Doctors say. Not only is he one of the leaders on this team, but he has been having a fantastic season. This will really test the Broncos depth at CB, and they may look to move Champ to I.R. to free up space to sign a CB from Free Agency.
