Defensive about-face and Russell Wilson’s return to form have Broncos heading toward playoff race
Associated PressENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton thought he had a first-quarter interception of Josh Allen on Monday night but his momentum had carried him way out of bounds. Nickel cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian ripped the ball out of the arms of Bills running back James Cook and recovered it on Buffalo’s opening snap, setting up Denver’s opening field goal. Wilson’s rebound and the defensive about-face have the Broncos riding their first three-game winning streak since starting out 2021 with a 3-0 record. As Eli Manning reminded his brother teasingly on their simulcast Monday night when Peyton excitedly yelled, “That’s our ball,” after the Broncos forced an early fumble, “ Our ball? It’s been eight years.” WHAT’S WORKING Denver’s defense has allowed 16.7 points in the Broncos’ last four games after yielding a whopping 36.2 over the first five weeks.
