Whatever happens, the rest of this season, remember Sunday afternoon at 4:25 p.m. That was the moment that Bo Nix became the Broncos quarterback. Until then, save for the first drive in Tampa Bay and two throws against the Jets, he held the job in title only. But with a memorable five-minute sideline interaction, Nix came of age. He kicked off the training wheels and argued with coach Sean Payton. Nix stood his ground, and it no longer feels like this franchise is sitting in quicksand. “He turned and looked at me and said, ‘I love you,’” Nix joked, “and I said I love you back.” This was the Hallmark Channel version of what played out in the Broncos’ convincing 34-18 victory over the Raiders, their first against their rival since 2019.

Pat Surtain II saw the ball in the air and his eyes got big. “No way this is happening,” he thought to himself as he left Jakobi Meyers’ hip pocket and made his move. A 10th straight accurate throw from Las Vegas quarterback Gardner Minshew on Sunday afternoon at Empower Field and maybe none of the ensuing festivities come to pass. Maybe the Raiders find themselves dancing once again in the legacy blue, 1977-replica painted end zone and in full control yet again in this rivalry. Instead the ball sailed, Surtain pounced and the Broncos did the celebrating. The Broncos’ best player made the biggest play of the season to date, picking off Minshew at the goal line and racing 100 yards the other way for a touchdown to kickstart an eventual 34-18 victory. Instead of maybe trailing 17-3, Denver found itself tied midway through the second quarter thanks to the All-Pro cornerback. “I caught the ball and I saw a full (field) of green grass,” Surtain said.

Javonte Williams didn’t just Taki a good game. The man backed it up. All over the Raiders’ hindquarters. “Does this mean you’re back?” I asked the Broncos tailback Sunday night after he paced Denver in rushing (61 yards) and receiving (50 yards) in a sweet, cathartic 34-18 whupping of the Raiders. “I don’t think I went (anywhere),” the affable Williams replied with a grin.
