The Denver Broncos have turned their season around, thanks to rookie quarterback Bo Nix. They're now 3-2, after starting with two losses. Last weekend, they won their third straight game, beating the Las Vegas Raiders 34-18. The Broncos didn't have an easy start, falling behind 10-0. But they fought back, with Patrick Surtain II, the team's top cornerback, making a big impact. He intercepted two passes, including one he ran back for a 100-yard touchdown. Surtain also kept the Raiders' receivers in check, allowing only two catches in 46 coverage plays. The offensive line did their job well, too. They let the quarterback get pressured just three times in the game. This helped Nix lead the team to a comeback win. Looking at the stats, the Broncos scored more points and had slightly better average yards per play. But the Raiders had more total plays and first downs. The Broncos were more efficient on third and fourth downs and scored more points per drive. In the red zone, the Broncos were perfect, scoring touchdowns on all three trips. The Raiders only scored once in two trips.
