Denver Broncos edge rusher Nik Bonitto showcased his versatility and playmaking ability by intercepting a pass and returning it for a 71-yard touchdown in a game against the Cleveland Browns. Bonitto, who played safety in high school, has been making a case for Pro Bowl and All-Pro consideration with his standout performances this season.
Despite a lackluster defensive effort that saw the Broncos give up over 500 yards of total offense, Bonitto and his teammates stepped up when it mattered most. Bonitto’s interception return was one of two pick-sixes for the Broncos in the game, marking the fifth time in franchise history that the team recorded multiple interception returns for touchdowns in a single game.
In the closing seconds, nickel cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian also intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown, sealing the victory for Denver. The Broncos defense showed resilience and a knack for making key plays in crucial moments, ultimately securing their eighth win of the season.
Bonitto’s standout performance, along with the contributions of his defensive teammates, highlighted the team’s ability to overcome challenges and find ways to win. With the victory, the Broncos continue to show their competitiveness and determination as they aim for success in the remainder of the season.
