Hurrah for Justice.  The officiating at that game was horrendous!
The Denver team played well, but their fans belittled their efforts
by being so obnoxious.  I have seen teams given penalties
because the crowd was so loud that the other team couldn't
function offensively.  Why then couldn't the ref call the Broncos
for a penalty when a fan DIRECTLY interfered with the play?
I hope that one day the Broncos lose a game because a fan
throws something on the field and hits/distracts a player!
