It's also possible that it was a decision Brown made on his own, thinking it was a "smart" play.  

The decision to have Joe punch it in on 2nd down could also have been influenced by the fact that Brown went down and the trust wasn't there with Herbert or Williams to punch it in.  

He was told not to score.

The original plan was to force Denver to use their time out to stop the clock.  Once the injury happened and stopped the clock w/o the time out that plan went out the window.
