After a concussion knocked Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud out of the game, the Denver Broncos mounted another fourth-quarter comeback in an 18-15 win at NRG Stadium. Kicker Will Lutz buried the 34-yard game-winner as time expired to move Denver to 7-2.

Old ties die hard, and so Sean Payton took to Broncos special-teams coordinator Darren Rizzi’s staunch defense on Friday.

When Payton first got the job in Denver, he hired Ben Kotwica as special teams coordinator and Mike Westhoff as assistant head coach and third-phase czar.

The Denver Broncos might’ve walked out of NRG Stadium with a 7–2 record and sole possession of first place in the AFC West, but don’t mistake this one for a victory lap. Their 18–15 win over the Houston Texans was more of an escape act.

Brock Townsend led the rushing attack with 26 yards on nine carries, while Langston Lewis (four catches, 111 yards, touchdown) and Tyson Davis (two catches, 45 yards, touchdown) were the receivers of note for CMU.
