Overview

  • Denver erased a 17-3 deficit early in the fourth quarter and won 21-17 to move to 3-2 with its first road victory of the season.
  • After an 11-yard Bo Nix touchdown to Evan Engram with 7:36 left, Payton immediately went for two to take an 18-17 lead.
  • The conversion targeted a matchup Denver anticipated, with Quinyon Mitchell on Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin isolated against Kelee Ringo as Nix rolled and delivered on target.
  • Wil Lutz added a 36-yard field goal on the next possession to extend the margin that Denver protected the rest of the way.
  • Nix went 9-of-10 for 127 yards in the fourth quarter as Payton praised the execution, noting he regretted only a late third-down call in an otherwise aggressive approach.
