I understand Broncos reasoning, 5:00 minutes left, up 2 scores and you are missing your best DB. He did not want to give up the big play, and wanted them to chew up some clock and have to work their way down the field. It actually did work and Hodgkiss got his hand on a ball that almost caused a pick. They ate up some clock, they did score, but our offense had the ball with 3:30 to go up 5 and we couldnt run it out.

The next series Bronco blitzed all 4 plays and good things happened, but whose to say if he blitzed on the series before that Dalton wouldnt have found a streaking reciever in one on one coverage?

I went and rewatched the game, and every play that we blitzed good thigns happened, they completed 4 passes when we blitzed the biggest gain was 7 yards, the other 3 completions were for 4 yards or less.

If you watched Dalton in the Ute game you were well aware that he is HORRIBLE under pressure. I am surprised we were not more aggressive. I am happy with the win though.
