The Denver Broncos ended the Minnesota Vikings’ five-game winning streak in dramatic fashion on Sunday, with a 21-20 victory. The Broncos were led by quarterback Drew Lock and wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who connected on a touchdown pass with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to give Denver the lead.
The Vikings had been on a roll, winning their last five games in a row, but the Broncos were able to put an end to that streak. Lock was able to find Sutton in the end zone on a fourth-and-goal play from the Vikings’ 4-yard line, giving the Broncos the lead and ultimately the win.
The Broncos defense also played a key role in the victory, as they were able to keep the Vikings offense at bay for most of the game. The Vikings were only able to score one touchdown in the first half, and the Broncos were able to hold them to just three field goals in the second half.
The Broncos offense was also able to put together some big plays, with Lock throwing for two touchdowns and running back Phillip Lindsay rushing for over 100 yards. The Broncos were also able to convert on several key third downs, which allowed them to keep drives alive and eventually score points.
The win was a big one for the Broncos, as they are now 4-6 on the season and still have a chance to make the playoffs. With Lock and Sutton connecting on such a big play late in the game, it could be a sign of things to come for the Broncos. If they can continue to make plays like this, they could be a team to watch down the stretch.
