Broncos vs. Patriots Fight Video: Watch Tempers Flare at End of Blowout

The Denver Broncos apparently don't take too kindly to getting embarrassed on national television.

Tempers flared towards the end of the Broncos game with the New England Patriots, which was essentially over by halftime.

After a rare Tom Brady punt (I never thought I would write that), Broncos rookie linebacker Von Miller freaked out and attacked Patriots center Dan Connolly. This ignited a brawl that spilled onto the sidelines before it was eventually diffused.

The Broncos were clearly frustrated, as the Patriots were spanking them like an unruly child. New England won the game, 45-10.

Denver was riding some momentum into the divisional playoff matchup after a thrilling overtime win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, Brady didn't seem too worried.

He mercilessly picked apart the Broncos defense, staking his claim as the NFL's best quarterback. Brady was surgical, throwing for 246 yards and five touchdowns in the first half. He would finish 26-of-34 for 363 yards and an NFL playoff record-tying six touchdown passes.

Tim Tebow might be the most famous athlete in America, but most rational people knew that Brady is the better player. On Sunday, he proved just how superior he is.

Brady didn't just take Tebow to school—he packed his lunch, buckled his seat belt and drove him there at 80 miles per hour.

It was one of the ugliest beat-downs in recent playoff memory. The Broncos tried to get some revenge with the late-game brawl, but it did little to help.

Denver exceeded all expectations and they should have been proud heading into the spring. But on the heels of this loss and shameful fight attempt, they will enter the 2012 offseason with their heads held low.
