Can Broncos continue to escape with nail-biting wins?
In Sunday's 27-26 overtime win over the Washington Commanders, the Broncos (10-2) needed a batted pass from defensive end Nik Bonitto on a two-point conversion attempt to avoid an upset. Denver head coach Sean Payton insists it didn't escape with a win against a 3-9 team.
Despite a hot start, the Broncos' offense sputtered at times versus a beatable but keyed-up Commanders defense, playing under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football. They were held below 100 total rushing yards and went 7-of-15 on third down, and Nix had the aforementioned turnover.
Alex Singleton was all smiles after the Denver Broncos beat the Washington Commanders in a thriller on Sunday, but the linebacker was happy for more than one reason.
