AFC Championship Game: Owen Daniels scores second TD vs Patriots (Video)
By Jack Crosby
Owen Daniels is really coming through for the Broncos on Sunday, snagging his second touchdown of the first half.
Well, if you were a person this past week that said tight end Owen Daniels would be a major key in the Denver Broncos getting an AFC title game win over the New England Patriots, then you’re looking to be in pretty good shape at the moment.
In the first quarter of this one, Daniels came through for the Broncos in a big way, catching a touchdown pass from Peyton Manning to give Denver the early 7-0 lead. Well, it wouldn’t be too much longer before he would strike again.
Not long after the second quarter got underway, Manning, Daniels and the Broncos furthered that lead with this touchdown grab, his second of the first half.
That was a pretty nice catch in the corner of the end zone, and it really does look as if Daniels was to be a major part of the game plan on Sunday. Should the Patriots not keep him under wraps, then they might end up having a long afternoon that really no one saw coming.
