And for those who earned their place the hard way, it has already been a special season.

That will keep the game close, but these Broncos win because this is a special season for them.

The duration of the game for a special season is 20 days.

Expect Brooks to have a special season despite his contract problems.

For the Panthers, it was also the end of a special season.

With at least one more game remaining in a special season, Smith was paying attention to a different number from anyone else.

In both states, the special season ends on Sept. 15.

And in the process, he may have propelled his own team toward something special this season.

But there is still a last opportunity to make this season special.

Just goes to show how special a season this is!
