Overview
- Will Lutz hit a 34-yard field goal as time expired to seal Denver's 18-15 road win, pushing the Broncos to 7-2 and a six-game streak.
- Denver scored the final 11 points, with RJ Harvey's 27-yard touchdown and a Troy Franklin two-point conversion preceding the winning kick.
- Sean Payton said the Broncos controlled the line of scrimmage and blasted a late special-teams substitution, clarifying his criticism targeted a player rather than coordinator Darren Rizzi.
- Addressing the Nov. 4 trade deadline, Payton said Denver would only make a move for clear value and not to "send a message."
- The Texans reported injuries to guard Ed Ingram (shin) and tackle Tytus Howard (concussion, ruled out) and are awaiting updates on C.J. Stroud's concussion, as DeMeco Ryans faulted red-zone and third-down execution.
