Any Explanation on This One? Pats Vs Broncos.

Kudos go to Trent Dilfer for this breakdown from ESPN MNF countdown from the pats/broncos Sun night game.
To anyone who watched the pats/den game think about this.
NE up by 4 21-17 2:53 left in game and Den has 1 TO left plus the 2 min warning.
The pats choose to throw the football with incomplete passes that stop the clock helping the broncos.
If they run the ball 3 times in row pats are punting the ball AFTER 2 min warning to DEN
and Den has 0 timeouts left with only about 1:10 on the clock and Den has to score a TD to win game. Can you imagine the pats having bad clock management -- well thats what happened. Makes one wonder about the NFL -- they want storylines and now you have Brock vs Peyton as well as other AFC teams thinking that maybe the pats are beatable afterall.
