On Sunday, the Denver Broncos secured their fifth consecutive victory by defeating the Carolina Panthers 26-21. Bo Nix contributed to the win with 237 passing yards and two touchdowns. The Panthers' Jonah Coleman ran for 57 yards and a score, while Courtland Sutton and Pat Bryant each caught touchdown passes for Denver. A pivotal moment occurred when Broncos coach Sean Payton won a critical challenge in the third quarter.
With Carolina's Bryce Young facing a first-down and goal at Denver's one-yard line, Young threw a pass intended for the end zone corner, which was initially ruled incomplete. After Carolina ran a second play, officials overturned the call, awarding Denver the ball at their 20-yard line and shifting the momentum. Nix capitalized on this opportunity, connecting with wide-open Pat Bryant on a 25-yard touchdown pass, thereby turning the game into a two-possession affair.
Later in the game, Nik Bonitto made a crucial strip-sack and recovered the ball near midfield with just over a minute left, sealing the Broncos' victory.
