The Denver Broncos have extended their winning streak to six games with a hard-fought 18-15 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday. The Broncos, who entered the game with a 7-2 record, secured the win with a game-winning 34-yard field goal by Wil Lutz in the fourth quarter. This marks the team’s first six-game winning streak since their Super Bowl triumph in 2015, reigniting hopes for a playoff push.
The game was tightly contested, with both teams trading leads throughout the match. The Broncos’ defense played a crucial role in limiting the Texans’ offensive opportunities, especially in the final quarters. Quarterback Russell Wilson led the team with 275 yards passing and a touchdown, while the running game provided a balanced attack. However, it was the special teams, particularly Lutz’s clutch kick, that ultimately sealed the victory.
With the win, the Broncos improve to 8-2 on the season and move into the thick of the AFC playoff race. Coach Sean Payton praised the team’s resilience and emphasized the importance of maintaining focus as the season progresses. The victory has also boosted the team’s morale, with players and fans expressing optimism about the franchise’s future under Payton’s leadership.
