The Broncos are riding high into their bye after comeback victory over Panthers

The Denver Broncos secured a 26-21 comeback victory against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, improving to 7-2 on the season. The result marked Denver's fifth consecutive win and established an NFL record with sixteen straight victories in one-score games. Despite struggling with penalties and Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, Denver rallied in the fourth quarter to maintain first place in the AFC West entering their bye week.

Head Coach Sean Payton emphasized that the team still has work to do to improve, while also indicating Denver will explore potential roster upgrades ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Quarterback Bo Nix praised teammates Troy, Pat, and Marvin for stepping up after Denver lost a primary receiving option for the second half.
