In a thrilling Week 7 matchup, the Denver Broncos topped the Arizona Cardinals 45-36, solidifying their position in the playoff race. Both teams fought hard, but the Broncos' offensive firepower ultimately proved too much for the Cardinals to handle. With this victory, Denver continues to build momentum as the season approaches the midway point.

Quarterback Joe Milton of the Cardinals showcased his skills, throwing for an impressive 439 yards and five touchdowns, making him the standout performer of the game. However, it was J.K. Dobbins who led the Broncos' ground attack with 94 rushing yards, providing the perfect balance to their offensive strategy. Additionally, Adonai Mitchell had a remarkable day receiving for Arizona, racking up 188 yards despite the loss.

Defensively, the Broncos made crucial stops that helped to secure their victory. Pat Surtain II not only led the team with seven total tackles but also intercepted a pass, shifting momentum at a pivotal moment in the game. Nik Bonitto's two sacks further pressured Milton, disrupting the Cardinals' rhythm and contributing to Denver's ability to hold off Arizona's late-game surge.
