Sunday’s comeback win over the Bears showcased an offense on the move as it overcame a 21-point deficit to win by three, 31-28.
But finally it was the 2023 Broncos Defense that really turned the game around.
For a defense that had been the primary reason for Denver’s three losses so far, the unit did its part Sunday to neutralize the opponent’s offense (eventually) while energizing its own.
FINALLY a "Victory Monday" in #BroncosCountry!https://t.co/xAt562hzAy

The first half was looking like just more of the same Sunday as the Bears put up 265 yards of total offense behind Justin Fields’ near-perfect throwing day (16 of 17 for over 200 yards, his one incompletion coming from a Hail Mary attempt to end the first half).
