Broncos’ Nik Bonitto plays overtime hero with blocked pass vs. Commanders

The Denver Broncos took on the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football. It was a close game between the two teams, going back and forth throughout. In fact, they were so evenly matched that they needed overtime to settle the score. That’s where Broncos linebacker Nik Bonitto became the game’s savior.

Denver’s defense gave up a touchdown with less than three minutes remaining in overtime. The Commanders elected not to go for the tie and ran a two-point try. It appeared as if Marcus Mariota had Jeremy McNichols for the winning conversion. However, Bonitto had other plans.

This is a developing story. More to come.
