Denver Broncos outside linebacker Nik Bonitto came ready to thwart the Washington Commanders’ shot at pulling off an overtime thriller on Sunday night in Landover, Maryland.
Bonitto swatted Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota’s attempted 2-point conversion pass to seal a 27–26 victory for the Broncos and a ninth consecutive victory. It sealed a game full of twists and turns, where a 3–9 Commanders team gave the 10–2 Broncos everything they could handle, and an ecstatic orange-clad Broncos team rushed the field afterward as if it had been more than a regular-season game.
