The Denver Broncos defeated the Buffalo Bills 24-22 in a wild Monday Night Football game in Week 10.
In a game that featured five turnovers, 15 penalties and two botched extra-point attempts, the Broncos came out on top, but not before some last-second shenanigans.
Trailing the Bills by one point, Denver lined up for a potentially game-winning 41-yard field goal attempt. Broncos kicker Wil Lutz missed the kick, seemingly sealing a loss for Denver.
But wait, there’s a flag!
Buffalo was penalized for having 12 men on the field, giving the Broncos a second chance to win the game. Lutz converted the ensuing 36-yard attempt to give Denver a 24-22 victory on the road.
Our good friend and Broncos fan Jess Place (@jezru on Twitter/X) of Mile High Report summed up the experience with a perfect tweet captioned, “A tale of two kicks.” Place showed photos after each of Lutz’s field goal attempts that summed up how fans in Denver felt on Monday night:
