Quarterback Bo Nix led the offensive onslaught for Denver, throwing for an impressive 335 yards and four touchdowns, showcasing his ability to connect with his receivers.

The turning point came early in the second half when Surtain's pick led to a quick touchdown, pushing the Broncos' lead to 35-7 and effectively sealing the game.
