He racked up 130 yards rushing, averaging 5.4 yards per carry with a long of 35. It was the Broncos first 100-yard performanc­e by a running back this year. Backup Marlon Mack added 37 yards and a touchdown.

Brett Rypien

Making his third career start in place of Russell Wilson, who cleared concussion protocol this past week but was held out, Rypien did just enough to help the Broncos win the battle of backup quarterbac­ks. He finished 21-of-26 for 197 yards, with a TD, an intercepti­on and a 95 rating.

The safety had two intercepti­ons to increase his career total to 26. Simmons picked off Colt Mccoy in the first half, setting up a field goal attempt. Then, Simmons intercepte­d a pass by Trace Mcsorley in the fourth quarter, setting up a TD.
