The Denver Broncos squeaked out an exciting win in week one of the NFL season.
With 14 seconds left in opener at Buffalo, Bronco quarterback Jay Cutler completed a pass down to the Buffalo 23 yard line to wide receiver Javon Walker. The offense rushed off the field as the field-goal unit of the Broncos rushed on the field. What a fiasco I must say it was. Bronco coaches, players and fans back in Denver had a abnormally high heart rate as the snap got off with one second remaining and kicker Jason Elam kicked a game winning 40-yard field goal as time expired. The Broncos won the game 15-14.
The win was spectacular for the Broncos organization and fans but once again, even after the murder of Bronco cornerback Darrent Williams and passing of running back Damian Nash in the offseason, the game of football was put into perspective.
On the opening kick-off of the second half, tight end Kevin Everett of the Buffalo Bills suffered a spinal cord injury. Everett was carted off the field and was rushed to a hospital for emergency surgery. Initial reports said that Everett would never walk again but progress has been made in recent hours. Everett has moved his arms and legs under his own power in the last 24 hours.
It just shows, once again, that football is a game and it can be taken from you at any moment.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Kevin Everett, his family, and the rest of the Buffalo Bills organization.
