Carolina led 14-13 late in the third quarter, with first-and-goal at the Denver 1. Bryce Young's pass was ruled incomplete, but Sean Payton, who had lost his first two challenges this season, challenged it. Replay showed safety Devon Key had caught the ball before it hit the ground.

Denver took over at its 20 and went 80 yards in 14 plays. Jonah Coleman's 9-yard touchdown run with 10:17 left put the Broncos ahead for good. Nik Bonitto's strip-sack of Young, which he recovered with 1:24 left, sealed it. It was Denver's 16th straight one-score win, an NFL record.

  • Records: Broncos 7-2, Panthers 3-5
  • AFC West: Denver leads Kansas City (6-2), which beat the Jets 35-12
  • Streak: five straight wins for Denver
  • Game balls: Evan Rothstein and Devon Key

Rothstein, the Broncos' director of game management, radioed Payton to throw the flag.

Nix threw for 237 yards and Coleman ran for 57

Sean Payton says the Broncos' record 16 straight one-score wins aren't 'by accident'

Asked whether the Broncos are lucky or good, Payton said: “When those things keep falling your way that’s not by accident.” The win over the Panthers was the 16th in a row, breaking the NFL record of 15 the Colts set in 2008-09.

  • Last regular-season one-score loss: 23-20 at the Chargers, Sept. 21, 2025
  • Charlotte scare: Carolina converted a fourth-and-18 trailing 26-14

Payton also said part of it bugs him, because a few of the 16 shouldn't have been one-score games. Columnist Mark Kiszla cites number crunchers who say that even granting Denver a 65% success rate in such games, 16 in a row carries odds above 50 million to one.

50 million to 1odds for 16 straight one-score wins at a 65% success rate

Kiszla cites number crunchers who put the odds in excess of that, even at a “nearly impossible” 65% success rate.

I’m still in shock seeing Nicholas Graham’s picture on the news.

“I knew him personally, and he was a man with a good heart, a strong backbone, and the kind of grit you can’t teach. A solid man who stood his ground, faced whatever came his way, and never backed down. A warrior in every sense of the word. My heart goes out to his family and everyone who loved him. Please keep them in…”

The Wrap

Denver International Airport's big blue mustang just got a spa day. Art conservators cleaned the 32-foot-tall sculpture, known to the airport as "Mustang" and to everyone else as Blucifer, added a fresh coat of ultraviolet protectant, and checked the fiberglass for cracks and chips. Sunscreen for a horse. The airport says its blue boy is looking better than ever.
