DENVER — Ahead of Sunday's game, Head Coach Vic Fangio clearly outlined the Broncos' objective for the season's final stretch.
"It's all about winning," Fangio said Wednesday.
The Broncos did just that, as they rallied from a fourth-quarter deficit to earn a 27-17 win over the Lions and improve to 6-9 on the season. With a win next week against the Raiders, the Broncos would be assured their best record since the 2016 season.
Earning a win against the Lions (3-11-1) was hardly easy, as Detroit led 10-0 in the first quarter behind a 64-yard punt-return touchdown. Drew Lock, however, led the Broncos to scores on their final two possessions of the half to tie the game at 10-10 at halftime.
In the second half, Lock led the Broncos on a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown drives to turn a 17-13 deficit into the final 27-17 margin.
Lock has now led go-ahead fourth-quarter drives in each of his two home starts as he improved to 3-1 as a starter.
The defense did its part, as well. The Lions weren't able to gain 100 yards on the ground or through the air and totaled just 191 yards. The unit allowed just 10 points, and the Lions did not threaten the end zone after a scoring drive on their first possession of the second half.
The front seven, which tallied four sacks and six quarterback hits, allowed David Blough to complete just 12-of-24 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown.
In all, Denver finished the game on a 27-7 run after facing the initial 10-point deficit.
These are the players and plays that mattered from Sunday's win over the Lions.
