AI Recap
AI RECAPIn a commanding performance, the Denver Broncos defeated the Arizona Cardinals 57-21 in Week 7 of the 2026 season, solidifying their position in the playoff race. The victory not only showcased the Broncos' offensive prowess but also highlighted the growing struggles of the Cardinals as they attempt to find their footing this season.
Haynes King led the charge for Denver, throwing for an impressive 331 yards and five touchdown passes, demonstrating his ability to stretch the field. Meanwhile, Jaylen Waddle was a standout target, racking up 234 receiving yards that kept the Cardinals' defense on their heels. Tyler Allgeier was the lone bright spot for Arizona, contributing 71 rushing yards, but it was clear that the Broncos' offense was firing on all cylinders.
Defensively, the Broncos were fierce, with Patrick Surtain II making a game-changing impact by snagging four interceptions, completely disrupting Arizona's offensive rhythm. Alex Singleton's eight tackles further illustrated Denver's dominance on that side of the ball, while Josh Sweat's lone sack for the Cardinals was too little to shift the momentum. The turning point came early in the second half when the Broncos scored back-to-back touchdowns, effectively putting the game out of reach for Arizona.
