"Q: What was the biggest factor in the Broncos' 45-10 loss at New England in the AFC semifinals?

A: Denver's defense didn't have much depth in the secondary. The Broncos struggled late in the season when opponents spread them out on defense and forced them to play more defensive backs. That's the matchup the Patriots were looking for, and it showed up on the scoreboard. Tom Brady had five touchdown passes by halftime and finished with six. One week later, in the AFC championship game, Brady didn't throw a touchdown pass against the Ravens and was intercepted twice."
