The Denver Broncos (3-4) went into University of Phoenix Stadium on Thursday night and snapped their four-game losing streak by overwhelming the Arizona Cardinals (1-6), 45-10.
Denver’s defense dominated the game early and often, starting things off with a Todd Davis pick-six on the game’s second play from scrimmage. Chris Harris Jr. also returned an interception for a score in the first quarter, and those defensive scores built a 21-3 Broncos lead after the first 15 minutes.
While I applaud the defense for scoring two touchdowns and holding Arizona to less than 300 total yards, that’s something a defense with as much talent as Denver’s has should be able to accomplish against a rookie quarterback like Josh Rosen, starting in just his fourth NFL game.
