Down 28-7 with 90 seconds to go in the first half, the Pats got the wake up call.  Driving 72 yards in 4 plays the Pats cut Denver's lead in half with a Jim Nance 1 yard plunge.  The second half was all Boston, as the Pats scored 31 unanswered points win big.  Don't let the final score fool you.  This was a 4 point game with 6:35 left until Mike Taliaferro struck deep for two 30 yard TD passes.  The first to Rademacher and the second one to sellers.  Nance applied the coup de grace with a second 1 yard plunge at the end of regulation (no kneel downs in the 60's).  Boston picked off Jack Lee twice with a big one coming late in the game to setup one of Taliaferro deep ball strikes.  Houston Antwine's star shined bright on defense as the big defensive lineman recorded 3 solo tackles and 3 huge sacks late in the game.
