Broncos QB Bo Nix's comeback game ruined by Jaylen Waddle injury

Key Points:

• Broncos quarterback Bo Nix broke a 6-6 tie with a historic 62-yard touchdown run, energizing the offense and helping Denver outscore Arizona 18-7 after the play; however, a late WR sweep play led to Jaylen Waddle’s shoulder injury, raising concerns ahead of Chiefs Week.
• The Broncos’ defense and special teams contributed key plays, including a blocked punt by Adam Prentice and strong coverage from safeties like Brandon Jones, though refereeing on Riley Moss’s pass interference calls was inconsistent.
• Marvin Mims made a notable return with 68 kickoff return yards in the first half, his best since December 2022, helping set up good field position despite the offense only converting two field goals from those opportunities.
• Denver’s defense excelled in red-zone situations, twice stopping Arizona inside the 20-yard line and maintaining a strong opponent red-zone touchdown prevention rate, while Arizona struggled to convert touchdowns despite having a versatile tight end in Trey McBride.
