Horrible coaching at the end of regulation for the Broncos. You have Peyton Manning for your QB, perhaps the ultimate Master of the hurry-up offense, over 30 seconds, and two timeouts. Why would you not attempt to get into field goal range and win the game? There was no guarantee that they'd even get the ball again if the Ravens won the coin toss (which they did) and scored a touchdown (which they did not). Seahawks/Falcons proved that 30 seconds can be an eternity in the NFL. Also multiple poor decisions on the part of Pete Carroll in that one: leaving too much time on the clock when your opponent only needs a field goal to win; the late timeout that allowed the kicker to adjust and re-kick after missing the first attempt. Seems like the Broncos and Seahawks both managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
