Overview
- McMillian became the first Broncos cornerback to record two sacks and an interception in the same game, with each play coming in high-leverage moments.
- His red-zone pick set up Denver’s only touchdown, and a third-and-10 sack on Kansas City’s final drive preserved possession for the walk-off field goal.
- He said he timed his rushes by reading Patrick Mahomes’ hand lift at the snap, allowing him to arrive clean off the edge.
- Teammates and analysis credited Vance Joseph’s calls for creating “free-hitter” opportunities from the slot, with McMillian converting two pass-rush snaps into two sacks.
- With Patrick Surtain II out three games due to a pectoral strain, the 2022 undrafted signee has produced four sacks and steady nickel play as Denver improved to 9-2.
