The Denver Broncos wrapped up their preseason in style with a flawless victory over the struggling Arizona Cardinals at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver on Sunday. The Broncos, with a perfect 3-0 record, showcased their strength and depth in the game.
The game saw Jarrett Stidham starting for Denver, leading the team to a touchdown drive that ended with rookie running back Audric Estime scoring a 3-yard touchdown. This marked a solid start for Stidham, who then made way for newly-appointed starter Bo Nix. However, it was Wilson who stole the show with an impressive performance on the field.
Wilson, a former second overall draft pick, showcased his experience with 33 career NFL starts by sparking an 11-play, 77-yard touchdown drive that saw him throw a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Nate Adkins. Wilson continued to impress, finishing the game with 251 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions.
The game also saw standout performances from players like Keidron Smith, who recorded his third takeaway of the preseason, recovering a fumble from Tony Jones Jr. Another highlight was Matt Prater’s successful field goal attempts for Arizona, but their only touchdown came from Hassan Hall’s 3-yard run.
Injuries marred the game, with several players from both teams suffering setbacks. Despite this, both teams are gearing up for their regular-season openers, with the Cardinals set to face Buffalo while the Seahawks will take on Seattle.
The sporting scene in Phoenix is vibrant, with the city playing host to major professional sports teams like the Arizona Cardinals, Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Mercury, and Arizona Diamondbacks.
