HOUSTON — The Broncos keep finding a way.
Facing their fourth fourth-quarter deficit in five weeks, the Broncos scored the final 11 points of the game to earn an 18-15 win and improve to 7-2.
The Broncos overcame a pair of first-half turnovers to score 11 second-half points, which was just enough to knock off the Texans and their top-ranked defense. Denver entered the game with the league’s best fourth-quarter point differential, and the team only added to that mark on Sunday.
While the offense battled, the Broncos’ defense kept Denver in the mix. Facing reserve quarterback Davis Mills for much of the game after C.J. Stroud exited due to injury, Denver’s vaunted defense held Houston without a touchdown and allowed just one third-down conversion over Houston’s final 15 attempts.
The Broncos leave Houston with a third consecutive road win and continue a six-game winning streak that is tied for the longest in the NFL.
These were the players and plays that made the difference in the Broncos’ Week 9 win over the Houston Texans.
