The good, the bad and the ugly from Broncos’ win over Cardinals

The Denver Broncos have now won three games in a row after going on the road and defeating the Arizona Cardinals 30-16 on Sunday. With the victory, the Broncos improve to 5-2 on the season.

The Broncos looked much better in this game than they did the last time we saw them on the field against the Seattle Seahawks, so it seems that the 10-day rest allowed them to prepare for this game and helped to correct the sluggishness of the offense. It wasn't a perfect performance, as the Cardinals certainly had their chances in this one, but it was a solid victory that featured a new team record being set.

Let's take a look at the highs and the lows from this one.

The good

You hardly ever see that out of a quarterback. That 62-yard touchdown run now stands as the longest run by a quarterback in the Broncos' history. Prior to Sunday, the longest run by a Broncos QB was 40 yards, which was done twice, both against the Raiders, coincidentally.

Tim Tebow ran for a 40-yard touchdown in 2010 and prior to that, Jake Plummer had a 40-yard run against the Raiders on September 22, 2003, on Monday Night Football. Congrats to Nix on a record that could stand for a very, very long time.

The bad

The ugly

Moss seems to have gained a reputation as a player the referees like to target for a certain penalty, much like Garett Bolles was early on in his career. This was one of the worst calls of the entire NFL season.

This was a horrendous play call. What is the thought process here? At least Payton acknowledged that much and apologized after the game.

The Broncos will now set their sights on a rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs. This time, the game will be played in Denver, and there will be huge AFC West stakes on the line.
