Broncos
W 18-15 at Texans · Nov 2, 2025
Misery Index · Meh
Broncos fans are 7-2 and somehow still clenched, white-knuckling B.Nix fourth-quarter heroics they can't quite trust.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A W.Lutz 34-yarder with three seconds left caps a drive saved by B.Nix's 25-yard scramble and a 13-yard dart to P.Bryant, and 7-2 is 7-2. Still, the offense managed 18 against a defense it was supposed to test, and M.Bandy's muffed punt nearly handed the game away in the second quarter. The R.Harvey touchdown and the clutch gene are real; the queasy feeling watching it happen is also real.
What fans said
“The team is clutch and good teams win close games.”
