There is something about that thin air in Denver. The ball flies through the air with ease out there and players seem to get a little extra hang time when they choose to leap.

Just take a look at Eric Weddle and how long he was hanging in the air to knock down the pass from Peyton Manning:

Weddle was flying.

And then we had Keenan Allen leaping over the defender to spark the Chargers scoring. That play was phenomenal!

I want to play some basketball out in Denver. I am pretty sure I can dunk out there. 360-windmills all day!
