Broncos' comeback effort falls short


Despite a valiant comeback effort, the Broncos fell just short of a victory on Sunday night in Philadelphia.

After the Broncos scored 17 unanswered points to tie the game, David Akers connected on a 28-yard field goal with four seconds left to go in regulation -- sending the Eagles to a 30-27 victory over the Broncos at Lincoln Financial Field.

Kyle Orton completed 27-of-41 passes for 189 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. Two of those touchdown passes went the way of Jabar Gaffney, who finished the game with seven receptions for 69 yards. On the defensive side of the ball, Elvis Dumervil notched two sacks and a forced fumble, while Champ Bailey recorded an interception.
