The Denver Broncos have responded to the Patriots' first quarter touchdown with a score of their own. On a first and goal from the one at the beginning of the second quarter, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning connected with tight end Joel Dreesen for the one yard touchdown to tie the game at seven.

The drive was assisted by a Devin McCourty pass interference, as well as a beautiful Demaryius Thomas one handed catch down the left sideline.
