We all remember the Denver Broncos‘ big plays from 2011.  Thrilling Tim Tebow touchdown runs, monstrous Matt Prater field goals, and deep touchdown strikes to Demaryius Thomas to recall a few.  Those plays will be running on the highlight reels of our minds as the off-season story lines turn from the Super Bowl to the draft to training camp.  Let’s take a moment, though, and look at five plays that were critical to the Broncos’ success this season even if they were supporting scenes to the drama of this incredible season.

It’s not exactly widely known that when football players have to go to the bathroom during a game, they will do so on the sidelines. Unfortunately for Chargers kicker Nick Novak, two embarrassing things happened to him during his team’s 16-13 overtime loss to the Broncos.

Not only did Novak miss the team’s game -winning 53-yard field goal in overtime, but he was caught urinating on the sidelines by an NFL camera.

More details (including video) here. 

After all, either urine or you’re out when the game is on the line.
