The NEW Best Game Ever…For ME! Broncos vs Commanders

Barona has it rejected by Bonito. Sends the heat. Yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you, Nick. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Bonito. Yes. Bonito. I do. But do you like that? How do you like seeing your team lose on a two-point play after scoring an insane touchdown? Because that’s exactly how you beat the Broncos week two of the 2023 season. Sucks, doesn’t it? The end zone batted down. Marionota has it rejected. Well, here we are, week 13 of the 2025 season and the exact opposite happened. Now, if you thought you were going to have a relaxing Sunday night, you were wrong. Thinking the 9-2 Broncos would blow out or at least convincingly beat the 3 and8 Commanders. Wrong. Thought you could go to bed at a reasonable hour because there are only 60 minutes in a football game. Absolutely [ __ ] not. There was actually 67 minutes and 13 seconds in the Broncos 2726 overtime win. Denver now leads the NFL with eight wins and one score games this season. Technically, the Broncos game started in November and dragged its ass all the way into December. A long four plus hour game that was exciting, thrilling, heartbreaking, soulc crushing with a heavy dose of Nick Bonito, Bonito, Bonito in overtime. An overtime game where both Denver and Washington scored touchdowns and none of us were forced to endure a tie. Suck it, Dallas and Green Bay. Today I’ll spin you a yarn and stimulate all of your senses in the new best game ever. And it is for me. Call an ambulance, but not for me. The best games for me. The ambulance is still for the commanders. Banana. I’m Brandon Perna. This is That’s Good Sports. Please subscribe to this YouTube channel. We’re so close to 830,000 subs. your life.

And if we don’t get that next bonus, I’m not [ __ ] paying them for Christmas. [Music] How rare is this season for the Broncos? And uh in terms of how they’re winning games, bloody rare. There have been 202 instances in NFL history of a team trailing in each of its first 12 games of a season. The 2025 Broncos are the only ones to win 10 of those games. Basically, the Broncos know how to win games, no matter how crazy or weird [ __ ] gets. And the first wild thing that occurred in this game was no defensive pass interference on Riley Moss. That’s right. Riley Moss completed Mission Impossible 5. Didn’t draw a single PI penalty in this game. And I would say the dark blue sleeves did the trick. Riley, the refs had no idea that you were a white corner. Hell, they probably thought you were Randy Moss’s son. If you have been following the Commanders this season, then you know their quarterback, Marcus Mariota, has a weird tick when he plays. He likes to jumps in the air for some reason. jump for some reason as Joe Buck so eloquently pointed out and Mariota did it again. Jumps in the air for some reason. Jump pass Mariota intercepted right before throwing an interception to Dre Greenaw on the goal line. He jumped and threw a pick for some reason. This was really unsmart. The second foreshadowing of the thriller that was in the making was Broncos tight end Adam Troutman breaking two tackles on the same play in three seasons with the Broncos. I have seen Troutman break two tackles total. Total. And for the sake of brevity, I’m going to fast forward through most of the game because the roller coaster didn’t really leave the tracks until the final 20 minutes or so. Oh, other than the most abject bust receiver of the 21st century, making an all-time great one-handed catch that was drawing comparisons to OBJ’s one-hander from 2014. That’s the exact moment when I knew this game was going to be unhinged when Trailin Burks, who worked out with the Broncos this season, mossed Riley Moss in the corner of the [ __ ] end zone for his second career touchdown. a play in which I said, “Who the [ __ ] is Burks?” when it happened. Remembering that it was Trayon Burks in the moment was like the entire plot of Momento. I had to check the tattoo on my arm to remember he played for the Commanders. We also got Bo Knicks at his best before halftime. A very special only Momes laser to Courtland Sutton mere millimeters before his shin or knee touched the shitty turf there at RFK Junior Stadium. I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s called now, right? The stadium where Tylenol has been banned for pain management. And as Ryan Koigberg pointed out from DNVR, if Patrick Mahomes did that, it would be a Madden animation within hours. I mean, Mahomes got that for an incomplete pass in the Super Bowl. Nicks completed it for a touchdown and spoiler alert, won the game to boot. But my team is still a bunch of frauds, right? Here’s the gist of why this game was so bizarre. The Commanders played an A+ game given the circumstances. Okay, you can say the Broncos played down to the competition, but I thought the commies looked really sharp. I mean, these were commies who actually spread the wealth equally to the entire team and it worked outside of that very silly jump throw from Mariota. Mario, this was really unsmart. They got one of the best career games from the former Heisman winner/number two overall pick. Marriott Ta was 28 for 50 for 240 94 yards through the air, 55 on the ground and he had two passing touchdowns. And honestly, I felt like Mariota had closer to 400 yards until I saw the stat line because he was dotting up elder statesman Zach 10 times for 106 yards, which had him pass Shannon Sharp for fifth most career sections. Fitting in this game, I guess. Scary Terry had 96 yards and Debo Samuel had his moments, too, particularly at the end of the game. This game though is a microcosm of the 2025 season in that the difference between the teams with the best records and the teams just above the bottom feeders is closer than ever. Another explanation is that it wasn’t actually Marcus Mariota playing in this game. It was Marcus Mariota top. Mariota Mariota Mariota. A completely different guy if you listen to Collinsworth say his name. Mariota the commies running backs and their ancient receivers all looked really good. It felt schematically like the team that won two playoff games a year ago, even without Jaden Daniels on the field. But the Broncos are a much better team in the year 2025. And that’s why they were up 2014 with the chance to shut the door at the start of the fourth quarter. And then Boseph Nicks threw the ball right to Bobby Wagu. Good god, when are we finally going to escape the wrath of that 2013 Seahawks team? That throw though to a wideopen Bobby Wagner set up a short field that led to a Jake Moody field goal which cut the lead to three. Now allow me to present the greatest tripping penalty of all time. Well, a non- penalty that saved the Broncos arses. A one-of-a-kind trip. What a strange trip it’s been. It looked like Mariota though had another big rush. A Payton Manning s get off the turf and make a play. But Denver touched him down via a blatant tripping which could not be enforced because a flag was never thrown. So even if the review reveals a penalty, it didn’t matter. Now I know Washington is probably annoyed by that play. And Denver definitely got away with one. I’ll admit it. But the Commanders were false starting all night and holding relentlessly, which is the only way to hold the top sacking defense in the NFL to just two sacks. You also know that Laramie Tonsel should have also been penalized in addition to Nick Bonito here, a personal foul that gifted you a touchdown in this game. Let’s just make a gentleman’s agreement, Commanders fans, and let’s say the refs [ __ ] us both equally and we both left this game feeling violated. And we’ll stick it to them by purchasing Oh, wrong one. [ __ ] the ref’s coffee. Still available at benchwarmershop.com for our Black Friday sale. I extended the sale till Tuesday night. You got 24 hours. Use code good shits to get 20% off your coffee and get your your gifts before Christmas sneaks up and trips you. Y. But even after that tripping backed up Washington, we had to rely on Alex Singleton, showing he has an extremely healthy set of balls when he made a fantastic play to break up what would have been a massive reception for who else but Zach. It’s only fitting that a man recovering from a surgery to remove a cancerous tumor on his balls wins our big dick player award. Well-earned, Alex. And I just want you guys to know if I ever have to have any sort of cancer removed from my body, specifically my balls, you won’t see me for an entire [ __ ] year. Fact that Singleton was out there less than a month after that is insane. Either way, the Commanders had the ball with exactly 3 minutes to go uh needing a field goal to tie and a Teddy to win. And then the Commanders, uh, they took all 180 of those seconds, 18 plays just to get into field goal range. That included turning a third and 25 into a conversion over the course of two plays because [ __ ] the Broncos just can’t make anything easy, can they? And the same kicker who beat Washington on a game winner piped it in for the Commanders to send the game into overtime, which set up a very interesting decision. Washington won the toss and elected to kick kick the ball and play defense. And I get that you want to know what kind of score you need on your offensive possession in overtime, but Denver’s defense was thoroughly gassed. And Washington had a chance to grind them down. Instead, Denver got the ball and sliced down the field in just five plays. The biggest one being a 41yd catch and run for Evan Ingram. A great capper for his best day so far as a Bronco. Bo was surgical four of four clutch magnificent bodacious on the giving end of a perfect bow job if you will and RJ Harvey got them the sevenpoint lead in OT meaning Washington had to score a touchdown just to stay alive after a quick 20 y to scary Terry I was indeed quite scared but the Broncos had a third and six and Jade de Baron nearly ended the game with the pick but couldn’t quite haul it in One play later, it’s fourth down. Mariota somehow escapes a sack and another sack and then throws the ball which was tipped uh and then picked off by Brandon Jones. It was an interception for the Broncos. Broncos win. Nope. Just like that Colts game. A potential win is interrupted by a flag. And I guess this one was a little more justified than leverage. Why couldn’t we get the Mariota who did this [ __ ] a few weeks ago? Oh, right. Because we got Mariota. Mario, you knew the commanders were going to take that shot against Riley Moss. And after a slight hesitation, Debo Samuel got open and got the ball all the way down to the two. No flags. But this game had to keep dragging on, didn’t it? So naturally, after Zach dropped what would have been his 11th catch, it came down to a do or die on fourth and goal. The third do or die play of the game with the Denver D on the field. And again, Washington bested them. A very, very, very scary Terry touchdown. Was it a pick play? Yes. But I was almost relieved to not see a flag so we could just get to the two-point conversion because I think we all knew it was going to come down to that. Here’s the game. It all comes down to this final final final do or die play. Again, Denver had not won an overtime game since 2015 against Cincinnati. back when Mike Tarico was still calling games for ESPN and John Gruden was still firing off the most hilarious emails from his ESPN Hotmail account. And on that do or die play, Jeremy McNichols gets wide open, but Nick Bonito goes full to Kimbe Matumbo like he was playing in McNichols Arena and rejects the pass at the rim. A true rim job by now. I don’t think anything’s going to change in terms of uh everybody else’s perception of the Broncos. They just love to play close games and they love finding ways to win them. Denver will still get called frauds. Bicks will get no credit despite making the coolest throw of all [ __ ] time and coming up me mega clutch and OT, but at the end of the day, they are 10 and two and still fighting for the number one seed in the NFL. I think Bo Nicks was the MVP of this game. I really do. But I don’t like that he had to be that he had to throw it 45 times because the Broncos couldn’t run the ball effectively. They are clearly missing JK Dobbins and they either need him to get healthy for the playoffs, which could happen, or they need RJ Harvey to pretend every single run is in the red zone because it seems like that’s where he’s at his best. He secured double-digit wins for the second year in a row. Frauds. And they’re a virtual playoff lock frauds. But that is far from the objective anymore. They’re two games up on the Chargers in the West and they have three games left against divisional opponents plus two games against the Packers and Jags who are both currently playoff teams. Win pretty win ugly. I don’t care. Just keep [ __ ] winning. Yov start coming on the field. Thanks for watching. That’s good sports. Please subscribe to this YouTube channel.

  2. “Thank you Nik Bonitto Bonitto Bonitto Bonitto Bonitto Bonitto Bonitto Bonitto Bonitto Bonitto Bonitto Bonitto Bonitto Bonitto” (I think that’s accurate)

  5. I'm still not sure how Burks was able to grab Moss by his breastplate of his shoulder pads and jersey and DIDN'T get called for OFFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE? He had to catch the ball with one hand because his other hand was full of Riley Moss' complete uniform.

  6. 10:45 – He wins Big Dick because when you only have one ball left, your DICK automatically looks bigger! lol…no seriously though, I LOVE Singleton! Even though he only has one testicle now…lol

  9. 11:37 – The NFL isn't rigged right? Why the 3UCK would Washington give the ball to one of the BEST Clutch Offenses to only recieve the ball back against one of the BEST Clutch Defenses in the League? The CIA must have the Head Coach's Family for Washington Held Hostage at the moment because they have big bets laying on the Broncos (I mean the war criminal Condi Rice does own a BIG steak in our team…just sayin')! But I digress…lol

    I even asked ChatGPT and this was the response! lol!!!:

    Fair question — and I agree: on paper, Washington Commanders kicking to start overtime against Denver Broncos — rather than receiving — does look odd, especially under the old OT conventions. But there are several strategic reasons that help explain why they (or their coaches) might have felt it made sense — even if, from a fan-perspective, it feels almost counter-intuitive.

    ✅ The logic behind “kicking first” under the new OT rules

    Under the 2025 version of regular-season overtime, both teams are guaranteed a possession, no matter what happens on the first drive.
    NBC Sports
    +2
    FOX Sports
    +2

    That changes the risk/benefit calculus: instead of trying to “get the ball, score, and hope the other team doesn’t,” a coach can think: “Let’s force the opponent to drive first — defend — then our offense goes with full knowledge of what we need.”
    NBC Sports
    +1

    If the opponent fails to score (or only gets a field goal, or worse a defensive score, like a turnover or safety), kicking first gives Washington control: they get to respond with offense in a position of clarity.

    Some coaches believe their defense gives them a better chance to “set the tone” — stop the opposition cold, then flip momentum on offense.
    The Wrap
    +1

    🔄 Why more teams are “split” — and why it still feels risky

    Because the new overtime format guarantees possessions, there’s no longer a runaway advantage for getting the ball first. As a result, coaches are now roughly 50-50 on kicking vs receiving when they win the toss.
    NBC Sports
    +1

    If the defense doesn’t stop the opponent, or only gives up a field goal — you’ve effectively handed them momentum, and your offense now knows it needs at least a field goal (or more) just to match or win. That’s a big gamble, especially if your offense has been inconsistent.

    From a fan’s vantage — especially if the offense has been struggling or shaky — giving the opponent the first shot feels like handing them advantage, even if analytics suggest otherwise.

    🧠 What might have weighed on Washington’s thinking

    I don’t have access to the exact internal rationale from Washington’s sideline, but given what’s common under this season’s overtime trends, likely factors include:

    Confidence (or hope) in their defense to get a stop first — allowing offense to react rather than go first.

    A belief that it’s better to know what you need: field goal, touchdown, or two-point conversion — rather than trying to “play it blind.”

    Perhaps a lack of confidence in their own offense being sharp enough under sudden-death pressure to strike first — better to avoid going 3-and-out and letting Denver start on offense.

    ⚠ Why it still feels so questionable

    From a “traditional NFL logic” (and fan logic) standpoint — especially under the old sudden-death rules — giving the other team the ball first was nearly always a disadvantage. Under the new rules, even with the changed calculus, it still means your defense gets tested when they may already be fatigued, and if they don’t stop the opponent, your offense might be forced into high-pressure, “must-score” mode. That can look, in hindsight, like a terrible gamble — especially when things don’t go your way (as last night evidently did).

  11. Tbh, the vikings should go get Mariota. He never had a real chance all his career, so going to that team could really push him as it did darnold before; and he wouldn't be that expensive for the upside he could bring

  14. This team is legitimately bad. They're having the Chiefs luck from last year, and we all know that runs out at the worst possible moments. My prediction: the first round of the playoffs they get embarrassed.

  20. Eight wins in one-score games?

    Congratulations, Denver, you've turned into the 2024 Chiefs. See you in the playoffs, says this frothing Patriots fan.

  22. The refs were very much on the side of Denver this game! Making horrible calls in favor of the Broncos, and letting DPI go over and over as well as not flagging denver D being offsides with early starts almost every play. The script is being force-fed down the throats of nfl fans and it does not taste good at all.

  25. Here to make sure Perna knows that his logic on GPS for how Bo is actually a good quarterback… Is bullsh*t 😂 man said cos he made one good throw that means he's a good qb ahahaha

    Let's not discuss the fact that the commanders are the 3rd worst team in the league, let's forget the overthrows, the picks and the rest 😂

    BANG AVERAGE QB ON A BANG AVERAGE TEAM. So excited for yous to lose in your first playoff game

    Average AHH team
