Broncos Beat Texans 18-15 on Lutz’s Walk-Off After Nix’s Late Dash

Houston’s top defense lacked the points to finish after C.J. Stroud exited early with a concussion.

Overview

  • Wil Lutz converted a 34-yard kick as time expired to cap Denver’s 18-15 comeback at NRG Stadium.
  • Bo Nix threw touchdown passes to Courtland Sutton and RJ Harvey, then ripped a 25-yard scramble and later a 9-yard run on the final drive to set up the winner.
  • The Broncos moved to 7-2 with their sixth straight victory and are 4-0 this season when trailing entering the fourth quarter.
  • Houston lost C.J. Stroud to a first-quarter concussion, and replacement Davis Mills went 17-of-30 for 137 yards as the offense punted six straight times after taking a 15-7 lead.
  • Special teams loomed large as Ka’imi Fairbairn hit five field goals, Denico Autry blocked a 51-yarder by Lutz, and a Michael Bandy muff set up Texans points.
