US EditionSean Keeler: Broncos QB Bo Nix Needs to Run More. Broncos Country Needs to Doubt Him Less.
Wil Lutz's 34-yard field goal secured the Broncos' sixth consecutive win, marking their longest streak since 2015 and overcoming key injuries, coach Sean Payton said.
- On Sunday, Broncos kicker Wil Lutz made a 34-yard field goal on the game's final play at NRG Stadium, giving the Denver Broncos an 18-15 win and extending their winning streak to six.
- Facing a 15-7 deficit at the start of the fourth, the Broncos trailed after Bo Nix opened 0-for-6 with an interception and played without Pro Bowlers Pat Surtain II and Marvin Mims Jr., while their defense forced multiple punts and stout red-zone stops.
- On the decisive drive, Bo Nix scrambled for 34 yards, including a 9-yard run that positioned the Denver Broncos offense for Wil Lutz's kick.
- The result underscored Denver's defensive resilience, as Payton said, `I don't think there was a person in this locker room who thought we were going to lose this game,` and Sutton added, `We found a way.`
- Up next, the Broncos face the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football, with Denver 5-2 in one-score games and recording their second walk-off win in three weeks.
