Defense Saves the Day in Denver; Broncos Beat Vikings 23-20

DENVER — Broncos safety T.J. Ward swept around the end untouched and took a swipe at Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

The ball came loose and Von Miller pounced on it.

For the fourth time in four games, defense nailed down the win for Denver. On Sunday, Ward forced a turnover with 29 seconds left to stop a Vikings drive and wrap up a 23-20 victory.

"We're not really finding ways to win, we're making ways to win," Ward said.

Ward's sack was the seventh of the game for the Broncos (4-0), who came into Week 4 ranked third in sacks (11) and first in overall defense.
