Aqib Talib cost the Broncos and he’ll likely feel this in his wallet as well.
Talib drew an unusual unsportsmanlike conduct penalty Sunday after he was flagged for poking Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen in the eye late in the Broncos’ loss to the Colts.
The penalty allowed Indianapolis to continue a late drive and greatly aided in helping the Colts run out the clock at the end of a 27–24 win.

Talib ran over to Allen while the tight end was exchanging words with linebacker Von Miller. The loss dropped the Broncos to 7–1, but they remain in first place in the AFC West.
