Justin Simmons is having a terrific year when he needed to most.
Denver Broncos safety Justin Simmons was hit with the team’s franchise tag this offseason before signing a one-year, $14 million tender. In response, he has had a fantastic 2020 season and made another game-winning play on Sunday.
Following a critical fumble by Melvin Gordon, the Broncos were clinging to a 20-13 lead with the Miami Dolphins looking to score a game-tying touchdown with Ryan Fitzpatrick in at quarterback.
