Players On The Broncos After A Massive SNF Victory Over The Vikings

At 5-5, the Denver Broncos are still in the running for the playoffs, but how did they perform against Minnesota?

The 2023 Denver Broncos should be dubbed the ‘streak-enders’ as they’ve put the kybosh to yet another opponent’s heretofore successful run. The Minnesota Vikings were the hottest team in the NFL, winning five games in a row entering Week 11, but the Broncos put an end to it.

It was a good defensive performance where the Broncos took the ball away three times and stopped the Vikings’ offense in critical situations. While it wasn’t a great offensive performance, the Broncos managed to do enough when it mattered to secure the win.

The Broncos offense had little life outside of its two-minute drills, struggled on third down, and was unable to fully capitalize on takeaways. The Broncos need to be more reliable in order to match their defensive production.

It can be dangerous and challenging for the Broncos offense to overcome if the defense doesn’t continue to play as well as it has been playing in an attempt to secure a postseason berth.

Let’s move on to the grades from the Broncos’ triumphant victory after their 21-20 victory over the Vikings, their fourth straight victory that lifted them to a.500 record.

The Broncos are doing a great job of making the most of Sutton’s potential. He has consistently performed admirably when making contested catches and climbing up to high-point balls.

Sutton has been playing brilliantly throughout this winning run, regardless of the phase. He is the offensive team’s MVP in general, barring a few fumbles.

The Broncos would be remiss if they considered cutting Sutton after this season, particularly if they continue to use him at quarterback. Sutton’s big-play potential is worth the investment, and this QB/WR combination has great chemistry.

For the last five games, McMillian has been the Broncos’ defensive MVP. He has made a significant contribution to the defense and has a keen sense of what to force or uncover.

Whether it’s in coverage or against the run, McMillian always manages to find a way to make a play. He also frequents the ball a lot.
