  • Bo Nix went 23-of-34 for roughly 302–303 yards with four touchdown passes, no interceptions and no sacks, then labeled Denver the “overdogs.”
  • Pat Surtain II’s third-quarter interception flipped momentum as Denver’s pass rush pushed its season sack total to 58, the best mark in the NFL.
  • Courtland Sutton led the way with seven catches for 113 yards, including a 26-yard grab on 4th-and-3 that set up the go-ahead touchdown.
