i can remember my first time in the playoffs. all i could think about when preparing was it's the playoffs. but i think at the end of the day, what you try to do is you try to continue to prepare the way you've done all year. you don't want to change anything. you don't want to out smart yourself or out think yourself. you want to take it as business as usual and go into the game. and once the game starts then you can start. >> still enjoy the ride for a little bit at the same time. you saw at the beginning of the show the fans will have that you like that towel. so it's doing to be hard to say it's just another game with these things waving around. we'll have much more. i'm breaking down this game. for donte, i'm kristen. back to you. >>> ' we inch closer to game day fan hype is inching critical mass. >> a super fan wears his fandon on his sleeve, literally. >> i've covered this team for 15 years. i've seen all sorts of super fans. kevin mccarthy is right up there. kevin mccarthy showed me around his washington man cave. >> look

not a signature moment in this playoff game, but what is on your mind? >> the turnover turned touchdown at the end of the game. roby knocks it free. and demarcus ware recovers again. and to me, this is a microcosm of the season. what happened all season long. the offense sputters along and waiting for a big play from the defense. and in the 4th quarter there is a big play. on the sideline running 40 of the 42 yards down the side lines. after the lackluster, listless performance the broncos had last year in the first playoff game against the colts. i thought he set the tone with the energy he brought. he was emotional all game long. this team was fired up. he played today like he thought this is the most important game he had ever played. he said all of the young guys went out on friday night. he was not doing that. he had business to take care of. >> drew. we talked about this -- 22 postseason touchdown drives. the 23 one wins the ballgame. so that mindset is the moment of the game. >> brandon, an all-time broncos playoff record with five field goals. th
