An interception by Shea McClellin and a vicious hit and fumble recovery by Josh Borgman on a punt enabled the Broncos to grab an early advantage.

"It was good to start fast. I really thought we would start fast," coach Chris Petersensaid. "I knew we would play hard early on. I think there were people who were concerned about the hangover effect from the last game, and I wasn't. We're going to give it all. Those turnovers really helped us.
