Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag periodically during the offseason. Click here to submit a question.I guess we no longer have to worry about winning those one-score games.— Peter Campbell, HotchkissBam. That’s an appropriate way to get this week going, Peter. Indeed, the Broncos came up a mere six touchdowns short of getting back within a score against Miami. The thing about that game that keeps coming to my mind is just how many different ways the preposterous nature of the score and what Miami did can be sliced. And no matter how it gets sliced, it’s still incredible. At some point we’ll mostly stop talking about it, but it will never fully go away. It’s one of those games that’s on the resume of everybody involved for both Denver and Miami. The latest rendition of boggle-the-brain stats that comes to mind is that the Dolphins scored 10 touchdowns in 51 minutes, 59 seconds of gametime.That’s one touchdown every 5:12 on the clock.
