The Denver Broncos found themselves down by 10 early, but fought back into it and they would trade the lead with the Detroit Lions several times in the second half. However, the Broncos broke free late to extend their lead to two scores and would finish the day with a 27-17 win over the Lions.
At 6-9, the Broncos have a chance to end the season on a high note with a win next week over the Oakland Raiders. It would be a positive momentum builder to end a season 7-5 after starting 0-4.
