FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Kicker Brandon McManus made a franchise-record six field goals, helping the Broncos overcome not scoring any touchdowns and two Drew Lock fourth-quarter interceptions to beat the New England Patriots 18-12.
The Broncos nearly squandered a 15-point lead, but the defense made a fourth-down stop with 59 seconds remaining when Cam Newton threw incomplete.
The Broncos are 2-3 and return home next Sunday to host Kansas City (4-1).
The Broncos never trailed and appeared to be in control with an 18-3 lead. But the Patriots scored on Newton’s quarterback sneak, kicked a field goal and were in position to somehow win after Lock’s second interception.
