Denver —
Stephen Gostkowski missed a PAT for the first time in nine years Sunday when he shanked the kick following Steven Jackson's 1-yard touchdown run.
Gostkowski had made an NFL-record 523 consecutive PATs. And he had made all 60 of his kicks in the playoffs.
His big miss left the Broncos with a 7-6 lead heading into the second quarter, and Denver converted a turnover into a quick TD for a 14-6 lead.
Gostkowski's only other miss came in Week 17 of his rookie season in 2006 against Tennessee.
