In a commanding performance, the Denver Broncos topped the Arizona Cardinals 45-14 in Week 7 of the 2026 season. This victory not only secures Denver's place in the playoff conversation but also highlights their offensive prowess as they continue to build momentum in the second half of the season.
Bo Nix led the way for the Broncos, throwing for an impressive 344 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his ability to connect deep downfield. RJ Harvey contributed significantly on the ground with 80 rushing yards, while Courtland Sutton was a standout in the receiving game, racking up 168 yards and making key catches to keep drives alive. The Broncos' offense was firing on all cylinders, leaving the Cardinals struggling to keep pace.
Defensively, the Broncos made their mark with Zach Allen recording 1.5 sacks, applying constant pressure on the Cardinals' quarterback. The turning point came early in the second half when Denver's defense stifled Arizona's momentum, forcing them into a series of three-and-outs that allowed the Broncos to extend their lead and ultimately control the game. Despite a strong effort from Cardinals linebacker Mack Wilson Sr., who notched nine tackles and an interception, it wasn't enough to swing the tide in Arizona's favor.
