Denver Broncos Defeat Colts, Near Playoff Spot

The Denver Broncos secured a critical 31-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, significantly boosting their chances of making the playoffs for the first time since 2015. This win improved their record to 9-5, clinching their first winning season since 2016. A pivotal moment in the game was a fumble by Colts running back Jonathan Taylor that allowed the Broncos to regain momentum. With three games remaining, the Broncos need to win at least one to guarantee a playoff spot, starting with a matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Currently, they hold a 91% chance of playoff qualification, contingent on the outcomes of other teams as well. The Broncos are optimistic about their future under head coach Sean Payton, as they aim to build on this success and end their playoff drought.
