In celebration of the new decade, NFL.com has been publishing top-10 lists for the 2010s decade. On Wednesday, NFL.com’s Adam Rank published a list of the top-10 games of the last decade.
Two Denver Broncos wins made the cut.
Denver’s 51-48 win over the Dallas Cowboys in 2013 is ranked No. 10. It was a thrilling game (unless you love defense) that featured 414 passing yards and five total touchdowns from Peyton Manning and 506 passing yards and five touchdowns from Tony Romo. Talk about a shootout.
The Broncos’ 29-23 overtime win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round of the 2011 AFC playoffs is ranked No. 8. Denver quarterback Tim Tebow threw for 316 yards in that win and connected with wide receiver Demaryius Thomas for an 80-yard game-winning score on the first play of OT. That was one of the Broncos’ top plays of the 2010s.
Unfortunately, a third Denver game made NFL.com’s list. The team’s heartbreaking 38-35 double-overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional round of the 2012 AFC playoffs is ranked No. 2. It’s probably best for Broncos fans to just forget that game ever happened.
