AI RECAPThe Denver Broncos cruised to a decisive 43-21 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 13 of the 2026 season, solidifying their playoff aspirations in an impressive performance. Both teams entered the matchup looking to secure crucial wins, but the Broncos showcased their dominance throughout the game.
Bo Nix led the charge for Denver, throwing for 237 yards and two touchdowns, effectively spreading the ball and keeping the Dolphins' defense on their heels. RJ Harvey was a force on the ground, racking up 131 rushing yards and finding the end zone, while Courtland Sutton topped the receiving charts with 64 yards. This offensive firepower was too much for Miami to handle, as the Broncos consistently moved the ball and scored at will.
Defensively, the Broncos made their presence felt with impactful plays, highlighted by Nik Bonitto's 1.5 sacks and Talanoa Hufanga's timely interception. The game's turning point came in the second quarter when Hufanga picked off a pass, shifting momentum firmly in Denver's favor. The Dolphins struggled to recover from that moment, allowing the Broncos to pull away and secure the win.
