Another week, another fourth-quarter comeback win.

The Broncos scored 11 unanswered points in the final quarter to come back and beat the Texans, 18-15, in Houston.

Denver's defense kept the team in the game, keeping the Texans out of the end zone and forcing nine three-and-outs. Bo Nix had a couple of touchdown passes and used his legs late, scrambling for 25 yards to get the team in field-goal range. The special teams? They struggled.

Next up: Hosting the Las Vegas Raiders at 6:15 p.m. Thursday.
