DENVER — The Denver Broncos overcame Bo Nix's first three-interception game of his rookie season by collecting five takeaways that propelled them to a 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts Sunday. The Broncos strenghened their bid for a wild-card berth at 9-5. This is the first time they've been four games above .500 since starting the 2016 season 4-0. The Colts fell to 6-8 and saw their playoff hopes dim. Among the Broncos' takeaways was Nik Bonitto's touchdown when he foiled a trick play by cutting off the receiver's throwback to QB Anthony Richardson and racing 50 yards for the score.
