Broncos proved they are Super Bowl contenders with wild Week 9 win

No one expected the Denver Broncos to go into Houston and blow out the Texans, as they brought in the best defense in the NFL, as they had allowed an opposing passer rating of 70.7 coming into Week 9. Simply put, this defense was and is incredible.

The Broncos, unsurprisingly, had a tough time moving the ball consistently, but they were able to find the end zone two times. Courtland Sutton and RJ Harvey each had a TD reception from Bo Nix, and the successful two-point conversion tied the game at 15 for the Broncos.

The defense stood on their heads more times than not and gave the ball back to the Broncos late in the game, and the offense finally sustained enough to get into field goal range.
