When Wil Lutz authored a 34-yard kick to end the fourth quarter on Sunday afternoon, the 7-2 Denver Broncos topped the Houston Texans, 18-15, and secured their first six-game winning streak since the franchise's last Super Bowl winner back in 2015.

The Denver Broncos squeaked by the Houston Texans on the leg of Wil Lutz, who nailed a 34-yard field goal to secure the 18-15 win.

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.

The Texans limited Bo Nix's effectiveness in the passing game, but he burned them with his legs for the biggest play of the Broncos' win.

It was yet another fourth-quarter comeback for the Denver Broncos as they extended their record to 7-2 with an 18-15 escape win over the Houston Texans. And this win might not have been possible if it weren’t for the Texans’ quarterback,
