Mile High Report
The Denver Broncos moved to 12-2 on the season with an impressive victory over the Green Bay Packers to take sole possession of the bests record in the NFL with just three games to go. The game was a seesaw type game with many lead changes, but the second half proved to be the Broncos half and they pulled away from Green Bay in the third quarter and never looked back.
After a third quarter touchdown, the Packers were up by nine points and had the ball. However, a Jordan Love deep shot was intercepted by Pat Surtain II and that marked the momentum shift that saw the Broncos outscore the Packers 20-3 to win their 11th consecutive game. It was Bo Nix’s best game as a pro and there were plenty more game balls to hand out than what our staff could claim.
Here are Mile High Report’s game balls for the Broncos’ 34-26 victory against the Packers on Sunday!
The Broncos second-year quarterback just put up his best game in the NFL. Nix was simply phenomenal in every way on Sunday. Nix finished the game 23-for-34 passing for 302 yards and four touchdowns. He also added 10 yards on seven carries. And while the stats are off the charts, they still don’t do justice to just how good Nix was in the win over the Packers. Nix wasn’t sacked despite some hairy moments in the pocket. He also didn’t commit any turnovers. And when the Broncos needed big-time throws, Nix delivered. What a game. What a performance. What a win. – Ian St. Clair
An early fumble by a rookie could have been devastating, but Harvey sat out a series and collected himself. While he only averaged 3.4 yards per carry he did enough with 19 carries for 64 yards. His longest run was also just eight yards, but if you watched the game he fought for every inch and picked up some key first downs. His touchdown run was his 10th touchdown of the season. RJ Harvey is doing just fine and had a game ball type performance on Sunday. – Tim Lynch
It wasn’t just that Courtland Sutton had a big game. Seven catches on ten targets for 113 yards and a TD is a legit stat line. Sutton deserves a gameball for being Bo Nix’s security blanket in the biggest moments. 3rd down? Throw it to Court. Need to throw it where only one guy can get to it? Chuck it up for Court. He’s gonna toe tap. He’s gonna box out and get the first. Courtland Sutton is the guy Bo Nix can rely on. Against the Packers, when it really mattered, Sutton put on a masterclass. Give that man a gameball. – Adam Malnati
Veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton had a clutch performance in Denver’s victory over the Packers. On ten targets, Sutton has 7 receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown. Several other...
