The Denver Broncos squeaked by the Houston Texans on the leg of Wil Lutz, who nailed a 34-yard field goal to secure the 18-15 win. After dropping 44 points on the Cowboys, the Broncos’ offense came crashing down to earth with questionable decisions and execution all around, but the defense stepped up big to keep them in the game.

The Broncos defeated the Texans when Wil Lutz kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired. Denver's now 7-2. After stalling near midfield, the Broncos punted and Houston took over at its own 13-yard line with 1:14 remaining in the game. Denver promptly forced a three-and-out, and the Broncos will now get the ball back.
