Courtland Sutton, P.J. Locke, and the rest of the Denver Broncos were thrilled when Marvin Mims Jr. made a game-changing 61-yard punt return against the Indianapolis Colts. The return set up a crucial touchdown that helped the Broncos secure a 31-13 victory and their first winning season since 2016. Mims, known as one of the best returners in the NFL, has been a consistent playmaker for the Broncos throughout the season.
Mims’ ability to read the field and make quick decisions has been key to his success as a punt returner. He credits the team’s blocking down the field for helping him make big plays. Despite his success as a returner, Mims has also shown improvement as a receiver in recent games, contributing 218 yards and two touchdowns in the last four games.
Against the Colts, Mims’ electrifying performance on special teams provided the spark the Broncos needed to overcome a lackluster offensive performance by quarterback Bo Nix and the rest of the team. Mims’ teammates praised his dynamic playmaking ability and the momentum he brings to the team with every return.
As the Broncos continue their push for a playoff berth, Mims’ impact as a returner could prove to be crucial in their pursuit of postseason success. His explosive returns and ability to change the momentum of a game make him a valuable asset to the team. With Mims leading the way on special teams, the Broncos are hopeful for a strong finish to the season and a shot at the playoffs.
