Right when the Broncos needed a play, cornerback Patrick Surtain came through with a crucial interception on Packers QB Jordan Love.

Broncos safety P.J. Locke said after Sunday's game that he's hoping the Brandon Jones injury isn't as bad "as what it sounds like."

The Denver Broncos beat the Green Bay Packers 34-26, and sit atop the AFC at 12-2. Colin Cowherd asks if the Broncos are the best team in the AFC, and if it’s time to take them seriously.

Green Bay was also hit hard by injuries on Sunday, none of them bigger than the non-contact knee injury suffered by star pass rusher Micah Parsons. Reports emerged on Monday confirming that Parsons suffered a torn ACL, ending his season.

Based on grades from Pro Football Focus, here are the best and worst players from the Packers’ Week 15 loss to the Broncos.

The Packers offense struggled in crunch time in Denver, scoring just three points on their final six drives after racking up 23 points on the first five possessions. The play in which Watson was injured was the turning point, as the Broncos went on to out-score the Packers, 20-3, following Patrick Surtain II's interception.

Zach Allen is inevitable. Quiet Thanos. A 285-pound titan who holds opposing offensive lines in the palm of his hand.

But the Broncos have not won 11 in a row by accident. They’ve done it as a team, prevailing in games when their offense was terrible (13-11 over the Jets, 10-7 over the Raiders) and when their defense struggled (22-19 over the Chiefs, 27-26 over the Commanders and Sunday against the Packers).
