With both teams vying for a stronger position in the postseason race, the Broncos delivered a well-rounded performance to emerge victorious at home.
Quarterback Bo Nix led the charge for Denver, throwing for 235 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his ability to command the offense.

While the Dolphins' defense made some plays, including a sack from Kenneth Grant and an interception by Chris Johnson, it wasn't enough to overcome Denver's offensive onslaught.
