Broncos vs. Lions live score, updates, highlights from NFL Week 15 Saturday night game | sports news
Detroit (9-4) sits atop the NFC North with a clear lead in the division and is in first place ahead of the Vikings, who are 7-6 overall.
So even though the Lions have lost two of their last three games, the team hasn’t been particularly affected by this difficult period.
They’ll look to bounce back from last week’s loss to the Bears and get back to the right side of the win column when they host the Broncos (7-6) on Saturday night. Most recently, Denver beat the Chargers 24-7 on Sunday after narrowly losing to the Texans 22-17.
The Broncos are 4-1 in their last five games.One of the biggest things to watch in this film is the performance of Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, who has performed well in his first year under head coach Sean Payton.
So far this year he has completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 2,609 yards with 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Jared Goff and the Lions will also have to be at their best on offense, as the Broncos have given up just 15.6 points per game in their last seven games.
Broncos promote TE Lucas Krull, elevate NT Tyler Lancaster and QB Ben DiNucci for Week 15 game vs. Lions
Denver promoted tight end Lucas Krull and elevated nose tackle Tyler Lancaster and quarterback Ben DiNucci from the practice squad to the active roster, the team announced Saturday.
The Broncos also signed outside linebacker Ronnie Perkins to the practice squad. Denver waived Perkins on Thursday.
Krull had been elevated three times for the Broncos this season, which meant the team needed to sign him to the active roster for him to play against Detroit. The 6-foot-6, 260-pound player caught his first career pass in Week 14 as he hauled in a 35-yard reception.
Lancaster has appeared in two games this season, tallying three tackles and a tackle for loss.
DiNucci was elevated for Denver’s matchup against the Texans but was inactive for the game.
Perkins has appeared in five games for the Broncos this season, with his last action coming in Week 10 against the Bills.
