Tom Brady and the New England Patriots started Sunday night's game in Denver with an undefeated 10-0 record for the season. After the Patriots blew a 14-point lead and Broncos' running back C.J. Anderson ran 48 yards for a touchdown in overtime, New England walked away with a 30-24 loss on a wild, blustery, snowy night of pro football. The Pats played some great ball — forcing overtime, for example, by pushing down the field with 1:09 left in the fourth quarter to set up a 47-yard field goal by Stephen Gostowski. But Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler and Denver's running game carried the game, boosting their record to 9-2.
