The Broncos claimed a 28-20 victory over the Blue Bears in NFL regular-season action on Saturday evening. The away side ended a run of three straight defeats for their hosts, who had fallen to the Bears, Panthers and Yellow Jackets in their previous outings.
Only the final score was available from the contest — no minute-by-minute breakdown or detailed statistics were supplied. What the figures do show is a game decided by eight points, with the visitors holding their nerve after a mixed run of results themselves.
The Broncos came into this fixture with two losses and one win from their last four games. They had dropped 14-0 to the Panthers on September 26th, lost 38-9 to the Blazers twelve days earlier, but bounced back with a 33-20 win over the Bears on opening weekend.
The Blue Bears, meanwhile, had been unable to string together a positive result since that opening-day triumph. Their recent form — losses to three different opponents — suggests a team finding consistency harder than expected at this stage of the campaign.
By then the scoreline told the story: a narrow margin that could have swung either way. The Broncos ran out the winner, and the Blue Bears are running out of games to salvage their season.
