Locked On Broncos - Daily Podcast On The Denver Broncos - CLUTCH: Denver Broncos, Bo Nix COMEBACK AGAIN vs. Houston Texans

Starting point is 00:00:00 The Denver Broncos and Bo Nicks, do it again. Another fourth quarter comeback. We'll break it all down here on today's episode, Locked on Broncos. You are Locked on Broncos, your daily Denver Broncos podcast, part of the Locked on Podcast Network, your team every day. The Denver Broncos continue to climb the ladder inside the AFC after another comeback victory on Sunday to improve their record to 7 and 2. Welcome into another episode of Lockdown Broncos, your daily Broncos podcast, part of the Lockdown Podcast Network. your team every day. I'm Cody Roark. Broncos reporter for Mile High Sports. I want to give a special shout out to all the everydayers out there in Broncos country.

Starting point is 00:00:43 Thanks for tuning in and making us your first listen. However, you choose to do that, another victory Monday here and another fourth quarter comeback here. On today's episode of the show, we're going to go through how the Broncos came back from a 15-7 deficit going into the fourth quarter led by Bow Nix, making some clutch plays when it mattered, despite some of his struggles. We'll also talk by the Broncos' offense, overcoming some of the allergies that they had through three and a half quarters of play. But we're going to mainly highlight how good the Broncos defense was in today's win. And on top of that, we're going to give every single one of those guys a game ball

And if your bet wins, you'll get $300 in bonus bets that you can use all throughout the entire app here. How about those Broncos? It wasn't quite the 33 point comeback we saw against the New York Giants, but it was an 11.4th quarter that helped the Broncos improve to 7 and 2 behind Will Lutz's game winning field goal here. And the Broncos firmly in control of their destiny here inside of the AFC and inside the AFC West with a Thursday night football game coming up.

Starting point is 00:01:50 This was an important game for the Broncos to go on the road and find a way to win. And it wasn't pretty. And we knew coming into this game, the Broncos offense, they were facing the best defense in the NFL in terms of yards allowed per game. They were a top five defense against the run, against the pass, and they were also the NFL's best scoring defense, limiting opponents to 14.7 points per game. So when the Broncos fell down into a hole here, 15-7, it definitely felt like one of those games,

Starting point is 00:02:19 especially going into the fourth quarter where can the Broncos find a way to come back again? Or are the Houston Texans, is that playing into the strength of what they want, where they're going to keep everything in front of them and then try to generate takeaways? And they almost did, especially in that fourth quarter, but Bo Nix and the offense, they found a way to come back here and they had an impressive drive.

Starting point is 00:02:39 Look, it wasn't pretty for Bo Nix throughout this entire game. But I will say this. We'll talk about the Broncos offense and Nix's struggles specifically here in our next segment, but I think we have to talk about the clutch gene here of Bo Nix. Look, when the Broncos seemingly find themselves with their back against the wall, odds stacked against them, needing big plays, Bo Nix does come up. It doesn't matter how he's played before throughout the entire,

Starting point is 00:03:03 course of the game. It's when you need a big play, Bo is going to do just that. And for example, look, in that fourth quarter, he finds RJ Harvey for the touchdown. And that touchdown, obviously, cut the Broncos deficit from 15 to 13. Then you go for a two-point conversion. Bo throw is a beautiful throw, a little bit high there where it needed to be because the defender was trailing underneath Detroit Franklin to tie the game up at 15. Okay, clutch factor. Okay. Now, everything's a little even here, especially based on the trend of what the Broncos defense was doing all game long to the C.J. Stroud list, Houston Texans. Yes, obviously, for those that didn't watch the game, C.J. Stroud went out in the first quarter with a concussion after taking a shot from Chris Abrams,

Starting point is 00:03:40 drain a clean shot to the chest where he slid late. That was simply on Stroud there. Unfortunately, we hope he's going to be okay, but it doesn't matter who's out. The Broncos did not have Patrick Sertan. Davis Mills stepped into the equation there for them, and the Broncos defense still did their job, despite the Texans getting back Nico Collins and Christian Kirk and having Dalton Schultz available for this game here. So we'll talk about the Denver defense here in a little bit. But for Bo, we talk about that clutch gene. Fourth quarter, it's third and 11, right before the two-minute warning, you just have a couple of plays in a row where you're going backwards, negative plays, and you need a big play. Bo delivered an absolute strike to Pat Bryan across the middle of the

Starting point is 00:04:18 field to move the chains going into, obviously, that two-minute warning. That was a clutch play there from Bo. And then obviously, when Denver's defense did their job and Denver had a chance for 50 seconds left to go out and win this game, Bo Nix turns on the Jets. with his legs, 25-yard scamper, and then a nine-yard scamper to set up Will Lutz's game-winning field goal. Bo finds a way to win, even if he hasn't had the best performance. I think the one thing we want to ask for from Bo is more consistency as a QB. And there's certainly layers to that conversation, which we'll have here in just a little bit.

Starting point is 00:04:48 But I felt like Bo's clutch gene, once again, comes up big when the Broncos need against the best defense in the NFL and a lot of major categories here. Denver needed this one. You couldn't have afforded a letdown and then going into a Thursday. night matchup against the Raiders that simply would have not been good for the Broncos here. But let's talk about that defense, really setting the tone from this game. We talk about obviously C.J. Stroud going down. Denver found a way to just turn on defensively when it mattered. And I'm talking about big time situations where there were a couple of plays that

Starting point is 00:05:18 allowed the Texans to get down in the scoring range. But then you have two goal line stands on back-to-back series and the Broncos defense led by Drake Greenlock comes up big. You talk about one play. There was a handoff to Woody Marks. Drake Greenlaw sticks him on first down, and then the Broncos defense does the rest on the next two down, stifling them for a run. Then they force a penalty on the Houston Texans and it backs them up. Two goal line stands here led by this Denver defense. That just kind of set the energy for the day saying, you know what, this defense is going to maintain their stance as the best red zone defense in the NFL. They wore that. But they also were the best third down defense coming into today's game as well. And they held the Texans offense to

Starting point is 00:05:57 three of 17 in that department. And there were several third and long situations, certainly that they forced, but there were a lot of third and short situations as well. And the Broncos defense just found a way to buckle down. Pressure being generated left and right. Zach Allen having a terrific game here for Denver. I just felt like the Broncos, once again,

Starting point is 00:06:15 in this game, the defense specifically, I'll say, overcame the adversity of really bad offensive efficiency throughout the entire four quarters. There were moments of it. Special teams didn't have any bright spot. outside of one guy and that was your punter. We'll talk about that later. But the Broncos overcame a lot on the road in a game that they very well could have easily

Starting point is 00:06:35 lost when things kind of got out of hand. You find yourself down 15-7. Nothing's going right for you. You find a way to just dig your heels in and say, look, we've got to make a move here. The Broncos offense found a way to do that, led by Bone Nicks, fueled by the Broncos defense. If you know who David Goggins is, one of the things he always says is who's going to carry the boats, son.

Starting point is 00:06:54 well the Broncos defense carried the boats and then Bo Nix got them into where they needed to be. Obviously late in this game, Broncos win 18 to 15 here to avoid overtime, improved to 7 and 2 setting things up with a Thursday night football matchup here as well. Once again, this was a gutsy performance by the Broncos because for a large portion of this game, it wasn't pretty. But man, you have to find a way to win these types of games. And how often throughout the last five, six years of you all joining me here on this show how many post game shows have we done where at the broncos they just got to find a way to

Starting point is 00:07:28 win these ugly games they're finding ways to do it and certainly there are plenty of gripes there are plenty of things that are not where they need to be here certainly on offense certainly on special teams we're not worried about the defense over here we'll talk about that i think a little bit more in depth on tomorrow show when we take a look at the state of the a fc the afc west and some of the other issues that we saw after we have a chance to go back and fully watch this tape from sunday's game But the number one thing that matters here in the National Football League in the regular season, getting dubs, doing that, improving the 7 and 2. And for the Broncos winning an AFC game that puts their conference record right now at 4 and 2. That is important.

Starting point is 00:08:06 We talked about that in the buildup to this game, leading it to kickoff that that was so important here for this Broncos team to take advantage of because you have other teams behind you that are creeping up inside the division inside the conference. You can't afford a letdown. the Broncos avoided the letdown by coming back, 11 points scored here in the fourth quarter. And once again, Bo Nix, coming up big when you needed him most in certain situations here. But still, plenty of concern about Bo in the offense, which will highlight here as the Broncos, found a way to overcome some allergies in this game late against the Houston Texans. We'll highlight that more here on today's episode, Lockdown Broncos. Today's show was brought to you by friends over there at Peloton.

The Broncos offense was allergic to running the football for a large portion of this game when it was working. But Sean Peyton, Bow Nixon, the offense found away late against the Houston Texans.

Starting point is 00:10:57 But it doesn't cover some of the warts here that this offense certainly has as they now improved to 7 and 2 with plenty of room to improve here. Broncos Country, once again, thank you so much for joining us, making us your first listen every single day. Just want to drop a little special announcement for you here beginning on Tuesday. You're going to get the Broncos squad show. You're going to get myself, Sarah Benninger, Anilo Piro, who does the Locked-on Broncos postcast, and you're going to get former Broncos safety, Nick Ferguson, my good friend, you're going to join us for a Broncos squad show here to bring Broncos country even more exclusive content here on the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

Starting point is 00:11:32 Stay in line for that here. Let's talk about the Broncos offense. And certainly Broncos Country, make sure you chime in on this. You can email me, reach out on social media to let us know your thoughts here on the Broncos offensive struggles for three and a half quarters and various parts of the fourth quarter, including some clutch situations. Like when the Broncos needed a big play, there were a couple of drives where they didn't come up with that play here against what we talked about in the buildup to this,

Starting point is 00:11:57 the best scoring defense and obviously a top five unit against the run and against the pass here with some talented playmakers there in Houston. Shout out to them. That defense is very good. And if that offense could play better, they might be a real scary threat inside the AFC. So a tip of the hat to the Texans defense, they made the. they made things very difficult for Bo Nix and the offense.

Starting point is 00:12:15 But I will also say this, the Broncos offense, Knicks included and Sean Payton made things very difficult for themselves at times. This was not Bo Nix's best game. I would say that this was the second worst efficient game that Bo Nix has had in his career just from a consistency standpoint here, 18 of 373 yards. Yes, he had the two touchdowns, which are super important. That's what helped them come back and obviously win this game. and interception, but just some up and down play here from Bo where at times it's the issues that

Starting point is 00:12:47 we talked about that we saw early on in the season where Bo is running himself up in the pocket into pressure. Third down efficiency wasn't great for the Broncos in this game. They finished six of 15. They had some plays late that obviously they converted, that improved that percentage there, but it was trending towards being very similar to the Houston Texans who finished three of 17 on third down here. But for Bo, we talk about some of the mistakes that he made in this game missing wide open guys. Evan Ingram down the left sideline on one play that he was wide open. Would have had a touchdown.

Starting point is 00:13:18 That stuff is frustrating. But on the very next play, he throws a touchdown past the Cortland Sutton against Derek Stingley Jr. And so it's like, all right, you're going to live with the good. You're going to live with the bad. I think the number one thing that Broncos country wants to know. And certainly there are some detractors there. Bo Nicks didn't play great enough for the Broncos here today.

Starting point is 00:13:37 And I think there's valid criticism of Bow's play this season. And look, I know this is a. a victory podcast here. We have to talk about the good with the bat as well. Bo did things to help the Broncos win, including the clutch 25-yard run, the nine-yard run that set up Will Lutz's touchdown. That third and 11 throw the head to Pat Bryant

Starting point is 00:13:54 should have been enough for the Broncos to go out there and win this game. John Payton, on the other hand, had some moments in this game where it seemed like, hey, we're coaching to lose this. And what I'm talking about specifically is after Bo found Pat Bryan on third down right before the two-minute warning, for a first down. The Broncos, instead of running the football and draining some more time off of the clock,

Starting point is 00:14:18 they have a couple of pass plays there and two straight pressures that force Bo Nix to have to throw the football away. One of them, he runs to the right side, which this is honestly kind of poetic as we're talking about it as the show was going here. It forces Bo to scramble to the right side, throw the football away. There's one play where you obviously have a missed pickup by R.J. Harvey, apparently, that's what the broadcast was saying. but it looked like RJ was wide open on the left side on a potential wheel route.

Starting point is 00:14:44 But Bo ran to the right side because pressure came inside the A gap. And so that was one of those ones where a forced Bo away from maybe where he was supposed to be going there. And then he had to throw it away. So now you have to punt the football away and hope that your defense continues their trend of getting stops, which luckily they did. And that gave the Broncos the ball back with 50 seconds. I think what was poetic about all of that on those two plays where Bo had to throw it away, it showed him rolling out to the right escape and pressure.

Starting point is 00:15:09 This sets up the 25-yard run there. And certainly it was the same exact look. Bo gets it. He runs. Pressure gets up field. Now he dips up underneath and runs for 25 yards. That clutch factors are like, Bo can use his legs.

Starting point is 00:15:21 And I think he needs to use his legs even more if the Broncos are going to sustain certain drives. Certainly there was one drive where the Broncos through the football. Bo had a lane to run it where it would have picked up a first down. He throws it. It falls incomplete to Cortland Sutton. So just too inconsistent here. And my main grab here about the offense, folks, and I'm not trying to be negative.

Starting point is 00:15:41 I'm just trying to be realistic because this is super important. Bowenix didn't play great enough for a large portion of this game, but he came up big when you needed him to. He had the clutch gene. He made the plays when you needed to in that fourth quarter. That's what I'm talking about. It was like, that's stuff that you can live with. But Sean Payton certainly can help him out here because the run game, the Broncos at halftime. They only had six carries.

Starting point is 00:16:02 J.K. Dobbins had four carries and his first three runs at the game on that first offensive series that Denver had, they were good runs. There was good flow and rhythm. JK was averaging over five something yards per carry at that point. And then the Broncos went away from it for a remainder of the game. In Houston in the first half, dominated the time of possession, I believe it was 22 minutes to seven there.

Starting point is 00:16:22 So Denver, they got a little pass happy, and it certainly took time off the board for them and gave more time essentially to the Houston Texans. That to me is where things get frustrating. And then obviously, in that one drive, after Pat catches that touch, throw the ball three straight times, And then you bleed off maybe what?

Starting point is 00:16:39 15 total seconds. You have two of them where they're incomplete. That right there is going to lose you a game at some point here. The Broncos and Sean Payton were essentially playing with fire here. That is my gripe. That is my thing. The run game at times was working for them here in this game. As I talked about,

Starting point is 00:16:56 JK Dobbins ended up finishing this game with 15 carries for 61 yards. The Broncos finished collectively as a team with 100 yards rushing, but there was a lot of meat left on the bone of this game in the run game that the Broncos should have went to that they didn't. And Bo has to just be more consistent in the pocket, especially even on the run at times as well. He's trying some no look passes at times. Try it.

Starting point is 00:17:20 I'm not opposed to it, but when you're meeting big plays that happen, you can't do that in crucial moments. He threw an interception, obviously, on a pass to Cortland Sutton early on. That was intended for him. He threw it high and it was inside. It allowed the safety to come over there. Derek Stingley nearly had a pick, but likely Pat Bryant, came out and was able to kind of force the ball of his hands to be able to force an

Starting point is 00:17:40 incompletion in that regard. I'm saying that this Broncos offense, folks, is not playing their best football right now, and yet they're playing clutch and they're finding ways to win when it's necessary. But how long can you sustain this, right? My plea, and I think Broncos country's plea, please let me know if I'm wrong. Make sure you accommodate it here on the show, the run game is the key to this team, being successful, being scary, and being a legitimate threat. inside the AFC. We opened up the show asking are the Broncos at 7 and 2 now legit contenders in the

Starting point is 00:18:12 AFC? I think that they are, but they aren't playing like it offensively. And that, if they can find a way to get to that juncture, they will be very, very scary here, folks, and they will be a legitimate contender for the Super Bowl inside the AFC. There'll be legitimate AFC contenders for the conference, AFC West contenders for the division here. This win gives them some cushion here. But now you have a short week turnaround to face the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night football, another AFC game and a divisional game too at that. And that sets up a matchup ultimately with Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes here in just a couple of weeks before Denver has their by week.

Starting point is 00:18:48 A big opportunity is in front of them here. And they're going to have to find a way to overcome some of these issues on offense and special teams if they're going to do just that here. But Broncos country, make sure you share your thoughts here on the Broncos offense. Your thoughts on Bo Nixon, his performance, John Payton, the play calling at times. What do you think the real issue is here for Denver?

Starting point is 00:19:07 Make sure you let us know on today's Lockdown Broncos post game report here. But covered up next, we're going to hand out some game balls.

Denver now at 7 and 2 firmly in control of their destiny. We'll break all that down real quick. I want to say thank you once again to the everydayers out there in Broncos country. Thanks for tuning in making us your first listen every single day. If you're a brand new viewer listener, hey, you love the show.

Starting point is 00:21:59 you love the conversation, hit the subscriber of that follow button. So you never miss out on what's going on with your favorite team every day all year long. My favorite thing to do in a victory is to hand out game balls. And unfortunately, my good friend, Sarah is not going to be here this week. He and his family are at Disney World. So he's having a good time. He gets a game ball for obviously being the best dad out there in the world. But you know what?

Starting point is 00:22:18 We're going to hold down the four for him here this week on lockdown Broncos. And he texted me somebody to give a game ball to. And he said, give it to Pat Bryant. And I already knew exactly when he said that what he meant. Pat Bryant coming up big in the fourth quarter for the Broncos on third and 11. That catch that he had across the middle from Bow Nix was big. He also had a catch early on in the game two on a slant pattern where he caught it, was short of the first down, fought for the extra yards and he got it.

Starting point is 00:22:44 Pat, I tell you what, he does so much. As my wife likes to say when we do our what the football show, she always gives him the hard award. Because this guy plays with heart. He plays with great energy. He's selfless. he does all the dirty work, and it's nice to see him get rewarded. Obviously, last week he was coming off a touchdown grab his first career touchdown in the NFL.

Starting point is 00:23:03 This week, he helps set things up and helps the Broncos win yet another game with a clutch catch on third and 11. And I agree with that as a game ball option here, courtesy of Sarah. I'm going to give one to the entire Broncos defense, folks, I think regardless of the situation of C.J. Stroud going out in this game, the Broncos defense, they had no Pat Certan. P.J. Locke was a key rotational against. guy for the Broncos at safety and has come up big at times for Denver. He was not playing in this game. So the Broncos were down a couple of key guys on both sides of the ball here. But no pass or tan, no problem in this game is the Broncos defense.

Starting point is 00:23:38 They stymie that Houston Texans offense holding them to 3F 17 on third down. We talked about the two goal line stands they had early on in this game led by Drake Greenlaw, who saw an uptick and overall snaps, including being on the field late in the fourth quarter in some clutch time situations. The Broncos defense, Talanoa Hufanga. These guys played with their hair on fire and four sacks in this game to extend their league lead to 40 from 36. Now, 40 sacks through nine games, that's pretty dang impressive.

Starting point is 00:24:06 And the Broncos rant that pressure up. The entire defense is going to get a game ball from my perspective. And yes, Bo Nix is going to get one even though he struggled in this game. I'm going to hand him one for obviously his two touchdown performance, including helping the Broncos win this game with his 25-yard run and his nine-yard run, respectively in the final minute of the fourth. quarter to set up the game winning field goal to help the Broncos go to 7 and 2. Bo can play much better.

Starting point is 00:24:29 But without Bo's production and key moments, the Broncos, they don't win this game. So he's going to get a game ball for this as well. And we're going to give somebody that he threw a touchdown to a game ball as well. RJ Harvey continuing to evolve in that J-word role that obviously Broncos country is tired of hearing about. We're seeing R.J. Harvey get his Joker wings here. Another receiving touchdown for him at this juncture, including obviously cutting the deficit for the Broncos to 13 to 15.

Starting point is 00:24:57 He came up big. The Broncos needed that play, and luckily he hauled it in. And then right after that, Troy Franklin catches a two-point conversion. So we're going to give Troy a game ball. And we're going to hand one out on the special team side here, Broncos country.

Starting point is 00:25:09 Even though that special teams was the eyesore here for them, and including the offense at times, there was one bright spot here for the Broncos on special teams. And that was Jeremy Crosha. Unfortunately, he was on the field too much. Eight punts in this game here. but he had a 76-yard punt that was an absolute boomer here in this matchup inside of a dome. You love to see that from Jeremy to see that he has the advantage to be able to do that,

Starting point is 00:25:33 but he averaged 53.5 yards per punt in this game. It's not always great when you highlight a punter, but in a win, you got to highlight the fact that he did a lot to help the Broncos with their field position battle, made the defense's job a lot easier. That right there. Jeremy Croshaw played complimentary football here to the Broncos defense on Sunday. He's going to get the game ball here. But with that said, Broncos country, make sure you hand us your game ball recipients following today's win 1815 for the Broncos

Starting point is 00:26:02 to improve to 7 and 2. We still have a lot to talk about this week for the Broncos. The sites have now shifted to the Las Vegas Raiders.
