Bo Nix led the charge for the Broncos, throwing for an impressive 391 yards and three touchdowns, displaying accuracy and poise throughout the game. His standout performance was complemented by Jayden Blue, who rushed for 94 yards, and Jaylen Waddle, who racked up 159 receiving yards, consistently finding ways to move the chains and put points on the board.
