Broncos roar back on the strength of 5 takeaways to beat Colts 31-13 and close in on playoff berth

Associated Press  

DENVER — Nik Bonitto’s defensive touchdown was jaw-dropping. Bonitto foiled a trick play by stepping in front of quarterback Anthony Richardson and hijacking Adonai Mitchell’s lateral pass, then racing 50 yards for a touchdown Sunday that sealed the Denver Broncos’ 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Otherwise, you wouldn’t do it.” The blunder breathed new life into the Broncos, whose special teams and defense would bail out a sputtering offense that managed just 193 yards. Sometimes that happens in football, but he’s our guy, and that’s what you say to him.” With five takeaways, the Broncos ended a seven-year string of losing records and strengthened their grip on an AFC wild-card berth that would end a playoff drought dating to 2016. Denver had just taken its first lead of the game on Bo Nix’s 15-yard touchdown toss to tight end Nate Adkins that made it 17-13 when Bonitto scored his second touchdown in two games.
