In a decisive victory, the Denver Broncos topped the Arizona Cardinals 45-17 in Week 7 of the 2026 season. This win not only boosts the Broncos' playoff aspirations but also showcases their offensive firepower against a struggling Cardinals team. Quarterback John Elway Jr. put on a masterful performance, throwing for 415 yards and five touchdowns, solidifying his status as a top-tier playmaker. Meanwhile, Mike Evans was a standout target, racking up 145 receiving yards, making big plays that kept the Broncos' offense rolling throughout the game. Jaylen Warren led the Cardinals with 86 rushing yards, but it was not enough to keep pace with Denver's explosive attack. Defensively, the Broncos were effective in limiting the Cardinals' scoring opportunities, while Divine Deablo's nine tackles highlighted Arizona's effort to stay competitive. However, the game turned in the second quarter when Denver scored three touchdowns in quick succession, putting the game out of reach. Despite Odafe Oweh's lone sack for the Cardinals, Denver's balanced offensive assault proved far too much to handle.
