The New England Patriots overcame their injuries with a healthy quarterback and a coach who made one of the shrewdest calls of the NFL season.
The Denver Broncos, equally banged up, couldn't overcome their problems.
Tom Brady threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to David Givens with 30 seconds left Monday night to give the Patriots a 30-26 win over the Broncos and their fifth straight victory.
It came after coach Bill Belichick's call for a deliberate safety with his team, trailing 24-23, backed up on their own 1 on fourth down with 2:49 left.
