🏈🎉 Wilson and Sutton Team Up for Clutch TD, Broncos Snap Vikings’ Hot Streak
📍🏆 Over in Denver, Russell Wilson and his crew never lost sight of their goal, even when the Minnesota Vikings’ defense was locking them down. Their offense, which had been struggling, finally came through after nine drives that ended with five field goals by Wil Lutz and four punts by Riley Dixon. “We just kept the faith in each other… We were certain we were going to win this game,” Wilson said after leading Denver to a last-minute touchdown drive for a 21-20 win against the Vikings on Sunday night, putting an end to the NFL’s longest winning streak of five games.
The game-changer was Courtland Sutton’s epic 15-yard touchdown grab with only 1:03 left. This play shifted the tide for Denver (5-5), now holding the longest current winning streak in the league at four games. “This guy’s been incredible,” Wilson said about Sutton, who outjumped cornerback Mekhi Blackmon for his eighth TD this season. “He’s among the elite, and I aimed to put it where only he could snag it. And he did just that.”
Wilson took a hit as he threw the pass and didn’t catch the winning catch: “I think my head was turned the other way. I just heard the crowd erupt and knew he made the catch.”
Danielle Hunter’s tackle of Javonte Williams on the 2-point attempt kept the Vikings just a point behind, needing a field goal by Greg Joseph to clinch the win in Denver’s high altitude. But the Broncos’ defense — stacking up three more takeaways, giving them a dozen over the last three games — held the Vikings (6-5) from making any headway on their last-ditch drive.
Denver got Joshua Dobbs to commit intentional grounding, leading to a fourth-and-25, before Dobbs threw an incomplete pass from the Vikings’ 21 with 16 seconds left.
Dobbs passed for 221 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another but faced his first defeat with the Vikings since they brought him in from Arizona. Still, he made history as the first NFL quarterback to score both a touchdown pass and run in his first three games with a team.
“Man, he’s slicker than I thought… tough to pin down,” Broncos coach Sean Payton remarked. “He’s taller than I remembered. I said to (offensive coordinator Joe) Lombardi before the game, ‘I didn’t realize Dobbs was 6-3.’ And his agility in the pocket? We all felt that during their final drive. He kept slipping away until we finally stopped them.”
Wilson completed 27 of 35 passes for 259 yards with no picks for Denver.
The Broncos kicked off their decisive drive from their 25 with 3:17 left after Joseph’s field goal made it 20-15. That kick concluded a lengthy 7-minute, 20-second Vikings drive that included a fake punt from their own 30. Ty Chandler took the snap on fourth-and-5 and dashed 31 yards into Denver territory, followed by a 19-yard catch-and-run before the drive halted at the Broncos 12.
Despite Denver’s struggles to find rhythm all night, finishing 2-for-12 on third down and getting outrun by the Vikings 175 yards to 46, Wilson’s drive turned the tables, moving the Broncos 75 yards in 10 plays to lead for the first time since 3-0.
“It’s no easy feat winning on the road in this league. And it’s even harder when you don’t handle the ball like you should,” Dobbs acknowledged.
The Broncos repeatedly stalled in Minnesota’s territory, but Lutz came through with field goals from 31, 31, 53, 37, and 28 yards. The last one followed nickelback Ja’Quan McMillian’s pick of Dobbs, putting Denver’s offense just inside the Vikings’ 10-yard line.
🚑 INJURIES
Vikings DL Dean Lowry suffered a pectoral injury in the first half and was ruled out for the game. WR Justin Jefferson missed his sixth game with a strained right hamstring.

🏈🎉 Wilson and Sutton Combine for Winning TD, Broncos Halt Vikings’ Winning Streak
📍🏆 In Denver, Russell Wilson and his team kept faith in their struggling offense, even as the Minnesota Vikings’ defense was holding them back. Their first nine drives ended with Wil Lutz kicking five field goals and Riley Dixon punting four times. Yet, Wilson said, “We just believed in each other… We knew we were going to win this game.”
His confidence paid off when he led Denver on their only touchdown drive in the final minutes, securing a 21-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night and ending the NFL’s longest winning streak at five games.
The pivotal moment was Courtland Sutton’s leaping 15-yard touchdown catch with just 1:03 left on the clock. This score marked a turning point for Denver (5-5), which now holds the league’s longest winning streak at four games. “This guy’s been phenomenal,” Wilson said of Sutton, who outjumped cornerback Mekhi Blackmon for his eighth touchdown of the season. “He’s one of the best in the game, and I tried to place it where only he could get it. And sure enough.”
Wilson was hit as he released the throw and never saw the game-winning catch: “I think my head was turned sideways. I just heard the crowd going wild and knew he caught it.”
Danielle Hunter’s tackle of Javonte Williams on the 2-point conversion kept the Vikings within a point, needing a field goal by Greg Joseph in Denver’s thin air to win. However, the Broncos’ defense — which had three more takeaways, giving Denver a dozen over its last three games — prevented the Vikings (6-5) from crossing midfield on Minnesota’s final drive.
Denver forced Joshua Dobbs into an intentional grounding, leading to fourth-and-25, before Dobbs threw an incompletion from the Vikings 21 with 16 seconds left.
Dobbs threw for 221 yards and a touchdown and ran for another but suffered his first loss with the Vikings since they acquired him in an emergency trade with Arizona. Nevertheless, he became the first quarterback in NFL history to have both a touchdown pass and run in his first three games with a team.
“Man, he’s more elusive than I realized… he was tough to bring down,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said. “And he’s taller. I said to (offensive coordinator Joe) Lombardi in pregame, ‘I don’t remember Dobbs being 6-3.’ And I didn’t realize how well he could move in the pocket. We experienced it in that last 2-minute drive. It was just one escape after another, and finally, we got off the field.”
Wilson completed 27 of 35 passes for 259 yards without an interception for Denver.
The Broncos began their go-ahead drive from their 25 with 3:17 left after Joseph’s field goal made it 20-15. That kick ended a 7-minute, 20-second drive by the Vikings that included a fake punt from their own 30. Ty Chandler took the snap on fourth-and-5 and raced 31 yards into Denver territory. He also added a 19-yard catch-and-run before the drive stalled at the Broncos 12.
That 20-15 lead seemed secure as Denver had been unable to find any rhythm all night, finishing 2-for-12 on third down and being outrun by the Vikings 175 yards to 46, with a 10-minute disadvantage in time of possession.
Wilson drove the Broncos 75 yards in 10 plays, giving Denver, which trailed 17-9 after three quarters, its first lead since 3-0.
“It’s tough in this league to win on the road. And it’s even tougher when you don’t take care of the football as you should,” Dobbs said.
The Broncos’ offense often stalled deep in Minnesota territory, with Lutz connecting from 31, 31, 53, 37, and 28 yards. His last field goal came after nickelback Ja’Quan McMillian intercepted Dobbs, setting up Denver’s offense just inside the Vikings’ 10-yard line.
