The Broncos go into the mini-bye week with a 4-3 record and ahead of the Chargers in the AFC West, thanks to their win against the hapless Saints side. The credit goes to both sides of the ball, with many stellar performances.

However, the star of the show was their rusher, Javonte Williams, who had his best game of the season, alongside LB Cody Barton.
Denver finally found their ground game which was missing against the Chargers, with Williams leading the charge. He has 88 yards on 14 carries along with 2 of the team’s three TDs on the day.
Speaking with Kaylee Hartung post-match, Javonte credited the offensive line and his wideout for their great blocking:
“A credit to the O-Line, to the wide receivers that do the blocking. We ran through the tackles. So credit to the whole offense. Just his decision-making. When it was time for him to take off and ran, he did that, he made the right throws, made the right reads, just getting better every game.”
“He probably about to turn up.”

Bo Nix didn’t have a spectacular passing game fishing the game with a mere 164 yards on 16 passes. However, he contributed well to the run game, carrying the ball ten times for 75 yards.
The star of the Broncos defense, who kept Alvin Kamar and the Saints offense to merely 10 points, was Cody Barton. He contributed six tackles, and one sack, and returned a fumble for a 52-yard touchdown.
Speaking after the game, he credited the entire defense:
” It was just one of those of those games. You can’t force this. It’s kind of come to you. That’s just one of those games for me. I just felt it.”
The Broncos go into their mini-bye week with a comprehensive win and take on the Panthers on 27th October in a Sunday Night fixture.
