Broncos

Broncos CB Pat Surtain II admitted that he lost hope that the team would win the game.

“I lost hope, I ain’t gonna lie. I lost hope,” Surtain said, Around The NFL.

Broncos QB Bo Nix led the team to a historic 33 points in the fourth quarter.

“I don’t even know how to score 33 points in a quarter,” Nix said. “That’s kind of insane, but it’s just whatever we had to get done and we did it.”

Even Nix admitted that his outlook was bleak on the game entering the final quarter.

“I was thinking about how I was going to answer questions if we got shut out,” Nix said. “Once we scored and got the two-point conversion, it was like we knew how to play again.”
