Denver keeps winning
The Denver Broncos improved to 7-2 with a 26-21 road win over the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium in Week 9, extending their winning streak to four games. Denver has scored 198 points and allowed 186 in 2026, a plus-12 differential. The record reflects a team consistently finishing on the right side of close scores: three of its last four victories came by five points or fewer.
Four wins, three narrow margins
The streak began with a 17-14 home win over Seattle in Week 6. Denver then beat Arizona 30-16 on the road and Kansas City 28-24 at home before its five-point victory at Carolina. The 14-point win over the Cardinals remains Denver's widest margin during that stretch. The Broncos scored at least 26 points in each of their past three games.
Fantasy leaders shift in Week 9
Bo Nix leads Denver with 124.8 season PPR points. Jaylen Waddle follows with 78.0, ahead of Wil Lutz at 71.0, RJ Harvey at 67.4 and Courtland Sutton at 63.6. Week 9 produced a different leader: Jonah Coleman paced the Broncos with 18.8 PPR points. Nix added 15.7, while Pat Bryant and Sutton finished nearly level at 15.6 and 15.5. Lutz contributed 9.0. Coleman delivered Denver's strongest fantasy return for the week, but Nix remains the season-long points leader. Sutton also ranked among the team's top five both for the season and in Week 9.
