In a key stretch in the second quarter, the Broncos put together a 15-play, 63-yard drive to tie the game at 10-10. The Broncos initially appeared to take a four-point lead, but a holding penalty on Emmanuel Sanders brought back a Royce Freeman touchdown. The change from a touchdown to a field goal, though, was only the start of a defining swing. The Broncos promptly forced a three-and-out and had a chance to take the lead before halftime. But on first-and-10 from the Denver 18-yard line, Joe Flacco was strip-sacked by Preston Smith, and the Packers recovered at Denver's 5-yard line. The Packers scored two plays later to take a 17-10 lead, and Denver trailed the rest of the way.
