Quoted from Astropin:I know Denver had the #1 D and they were SUPER impressive.....but Cam did choke. Missed easy passes even when he didn't have someone in his face. Did he forget he can scramble? I know sometimes he didn't even have the opportunity but still.
I will say the by the 2nd half Denver's D had him looking like a deer in the headlights.
It's not as much Cam choking as the defense taking him out of his game. Broncos did it with Brady this year, twice, during one of the best statistical years of his HOF career.. the first time Brady was the most upset than he had ever been in his career, so it shouldn't have been a big surprise to see Cam struggle the same. If you were a QB getting hit over and over, passes tipped, ball taken out of your hands, no receivers open, no time to wait for them to get open, you're going to get frustrated, start questioning yourself and taking it out on your blockers, etc., and generally look like you are choking. Opportunities to succeed just weren't there.
