WATCH: Owen Daniels game-tying touchdown catch

The Denver Broncos may not have won, but they gave it their all Sunday versus the Indianapolis Colts.

In the end, Denver lost 24-27 thanks to dumb defensive penalties, but the offense fought to the final whistle.

In the fourth quarter, Peyton Manning led a drive with veteran tight end Owen Daniels catching the game-tying touchdown at 24-24.

Daniels released and ran a sot slant for the score. But, Indianapolis was able to run the clock out after getting the ball back with six minutes to play, in part thanks to the defensive penalties.
