Broncos Dominate Falcons in Justin Simmons' Return to Denver

Simmons reflects on his Denver legacy as Broncos' rookie Bo Nix leads decisive victory over Atlanta.

Justin Simmons faced his former team, the Denver Broncos, for the first time since joining the Atlanta Falcons, experiencing a 'bittersweet' return.
Denver's rookie quarterback Bo Nix excelled with his first 300-yard game and four touchdown passes, leading to a 38-6 win over the Falcons.
The Falcons' defense, missing key players and struggling with execution, allowed 199 yards after the catch and failed to contain Denver's screen plays.
Simmons, a former Broncos standout, was celebrated for his community impact in Denver, where he engaged with local youth and supported various initiatives.
Despite the loss, Simmons emphasized the need for defensive improvements as the Falcons remain atop the NFC South, albeit with a narrowing margin.
