A big win came with a potentially big loss Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High after Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II sustained an ankle injury during an interception return in the fourth quarter. The injury occurred after Surtain picked off quarterback Anthony Richardson in the final minutes of Denver’s 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

A look at how the Broncos’ rookies played in their 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon. Highlight: Broncos rookie cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine stepped up in a big way with Riley Moss unavailable. As the Colts marched down the field during the closing seconds of the first half, the fifth-round pick broke up quarterback Anthony Richardson’s deep pass to wideout Alec Pierce in the end zone.

OFFENSE — D The Broncos’ offensive plan was off-kilter from the start. Bo Nix didn’t just throw three interceptions. He threw a trio of stinkers. Almost no quarterback goes an entire season without a true dud, let alone a rookie, so there’s no reason to fully panic for the Broncos. But the outing combined with Denver’s complete lack of a run game against a leaky Indianapolis run defense is cause enough for concern.

Initial thoughts from the Broncos’ 31-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15 at Empower Field at Mile High: Defensive false start: Riley Moss can’t be that important can he? The results over the first five quarters of the second-year cornerback’s absence — 35 first downs and 674 yards for 42 points from the start of the Browns game to the first seven seconds of Sunday’s second quarter — weren’t very encouraging.
