When all of the goals and objectives the Denver Broncos have in this season felt like they hung in the balance Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, it was the team's most decorated player -- cornerback Pat Surtain II -- who came to the rescue with his first interception of the season.

Green Bay fell to the No. 7 seed in the NFC and, more concerningly, saw superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons suffer a non-contact knee injury. He did not return, and Green Bay reportedly fears he tore his ACL.

During pregame, Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw got into a dust-up with Packers players near midfield. The inside linebacker was later joined by outside linebacker Nik Bonitto before quarterback Bo Nix pulled him back. Denver cornerback Ja'Quan McMillian also got in on the action.

The Broncos just keep on winning. The Green Bay Packers came into this game on a hot streak and were favored by Vegas, while the Broncos were still being called frauds, doubted, and underdogs despite being 11-2 and at home.
