Denver Broncos defeat Arizona Cardinals 30-16
Overview
The Denver Broncos (5-2) defeated the Arizona Cardinals (2-5) with a score of 30-16 on October 25, 2026, at State Farm Stadium. The victory marks Denver’s third consecutive win.
The Broncos’ offense was highlighted by explosive plays, including a career-long 62-yard touchdown run by quarterback Bo Nix and a 52-yard touchdown reception by RJ Harvey. Nix’s performance made him only the fifth player in NFL history to record both a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown of at least 50 yards in a single game. Nix concluded the game with 222 passing yards and 73 rushing yards.
Following a period of inconsistency, rookie running back Jonah Coleman made a significant impact after being activated from injured reserve. Coleman recorded nine carries for 53 yards and two receptions for 15 yards. Head coach Sean Payton described Coleman’s touches as ‘explosive’ and noted that the rookie earned his role through his play.
Despite the offensive success, concerns remain regarding the offensive line. Analysis suggests Nix faced pressure on nearly 40% of his dropbacks, with significant leaks through interior gaps impacting his stability and accuracy.
Defensively, Denver recorded 12 quarterback hits, six tackles for loss, and three sacks. The Cardinals struggled to contain these plays, allowing 377 total yards; this was the fifth time this season they have allowed 30 or more points. Despite a touchdown pass from Jacoby Brissett to Trey McBride, the defeat extends Arizona’s home losing streak to 10 games.
Amidst the loss, the Cardinals celebrated a franchise milestone as Larry Fitzgerald was inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor and his No. 11 jersey was retired.
