The Denver Broncos dominated the injury-riddled New Orleans Saints in a 33-10 victory on Thursday night. The Broncos rushed for 225 yards, with running back Javonte Williams leading the charge with 88 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Bo Nix added another 75 rushing yards. The Broncos’ defense also shined, with linebacker Cody Barton returning a fumble for a touchdown and holding the Saints to just over 200 yards of offense.
Denver led 16-3 at halftime and never looked back, controlling the game and limiting the Saints’ offensive opportunities. Nix had a modest passing performance with 164 yards, as the Broncos didn’t need much of an aerial attack to secure the win.
The Saints’ injury troubles worsened during the game, with cornerback Paulson Adebo being carted off with a leg injury and Marshon Lattimore also leaving the game due to injury. This loss adds to the Saints’ growing list of sidelined players, including quarterback Derek Carr and wide receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.
Overall, the Broncos showcased their strength on both sides of the ball, solidifying their standing as a top-tier team in the NFL. The Saints, on the other hand, will need to regroup and recover from their mounting injuries in order to bounce back in future matchups.
