On Sunday, the Denver Broncos pulled off a thrilling 21-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings thanks to a late touchdown from wide receiver Courtland Sutton. With the game tied at 20 and just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, quarterback Brandon Allen connected with Sutton on a deep pass down the right sideline for a 34-yard touchdown. The score gave the Broncos the lead and ultimately the win.
Sutton has been a key contributor for the Broncos this season, and his touchdown was his fourth of the year. He finished the game with five receptions for 113 yards, both of which were team-highs. His performance was instrumental in helping the Broncos overcome a 13-point deficit in the second half.
The win was Denver’s fourth of the season and kept their slim playoff hopes alive. It was also a big win for Allen, who was making his first start as a Bronco after being acquired from the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this season. He finished the game with a career-high 242 passing yards and two touchdowns.
The Broncos defense also played a key role in the victory, holding the Vikings to just three points in the second half. Denver’s pass rush was particularly effective, sacking Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins four times.
The win was a huge boost for the Broncos, who are now 4-8 on the season and still have an outside chance of making the playoffs. With Sutton continuing to make plays and Allen showing promise at quarterback, Denver could be a dangerous team down the stretch.
