The Story in 60 Seconds

Nik Bonitto executed a late strip sack and fumble recovery against quarterback Bryce Young to secure a 26-21 victory for the Denver Broncos over the Carolina Panthers. The crucial play in Charlotte mirrored Von Miller's iconic takeaway against Cam Newton in Super Bowl 50. Bo Nix then scored on a one-yard sneak to seal the win, pushing Denver to a 7-2 record.

The result marked an NFL-record 16th consecutive one-score victory for the Broncos, surpassing the previous record held by the Indianapolis Colts. Denver also benefited from a successful coach's challenge by Sean Payton that awarded safety Devon Key an interception, though injuries mounted as Jaylen Waddle and Riley Moss suffered concussions ahead of Denver's upcoming bye week.
