Broncos Win 11th Straight to Clinch Playoff Berth as Surtain’s Pick Turns Tide

Pat Surtain II cast the victory as a sign Denver can get better entering the stretch run.

Overview

  • Denver beat Green Bay 34-26 at home on Dec. 14, strengthening its bid for the AFC’s No. 1 seed.
  • Trailing by nine in the third quarter, Surtain intercepted Jordan Love on a deep pass after reading the formation, flipping momentum.
  • Bo Nix threw four touchdown passes as the offense and defense settled after halftime to close out the win.
  • The result clinched a playoff spot for Denver, which next hosts the 10-4 Jaguars in a key late-season test.
  • Packers receiver Christian Watson was injured on the interception play and was later ruled out, according to postgame reports.
