JUMP TO:

The Denver Broncos will go on the road to take on the Washington Commanders for Week 13’s edition of “Sunday Night Football.” The game caps off a rather light Sunday slate after three games on Thanksgiving and a game on Black Friday.

The Broncos are coming off their bye week and sit at 9-2 on top of the AFC West. Denver is hoping that the off week doesn’t derail its momentum. Before the bye, the Broncos rattled off eight straight wins. The most recent was an important home win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Denver would be the No. 2 seed in the AFC if the playoffs started today, and it needs a win over Washington to stay on track.

The Commanders have had a down season in Dan Quinn’s second year. Injuries to starting quarterback Jayden Daniels haven’t helped, and his status was the biggest storyline of the week for Washington. The Commanders head into the game with a 3-8 record, and sit in third place in the NFC East. Washington currently has the third-worst record in the NFC, and is teetering between needing to make a strong playoff push if it can win out, and turning the pages to looking toward the offseason and next year. 

The Sporting News is tracking LIVE updates as the Broncos take on the Commanders in Week 13’s “Sunday Night Football.”

Broncos vs. Commanders updates, results, highlights from Week 13 ‘Sunday Night Football’

(All times ET.)

9:19 p.m.: Mariota’s interception notwithstanding, Washington’s offense has looked fairly competent against Denver’s renowned defense. A pair of chunk plays to Zach Ertz and McLaurin has the Commanders just outside the Broncos’ 10-yard line.

9:12 p.m.: FIELD GOAL! The Broncos’ offense started to gash Washington’s rearguard via a diet of short passes and runs. But they weren’t able to go all the way. Sean Payton’s side settles for a field goal to double its advantage.

Broncos 6, Commanders 0

9:02 p.m.: INTERCEPTION! After traipsing inside of dangerous territory, Marcus Mariota baffingly attempts a jump pass towards McNichols, who was swamped in double coverage. The subsequent pass fell into Dre Greenlaw’s hands, spelling a sudden end to what looked a promising Washington drive.

End of first quarter: Broncos 3, Commanders 0

8:57 p.m.: Washington’s attack has found some success in the early moments of the game. Jeremy McNichols was the latest Commander to make his presence felt at Northwest Stadium, evading Talanoa Hufanga’s grasp via spin before gobbling down the field for 16 yards. Washington will start the second quarter just outside the red zone. 

8:45 p.m.: Denver’s defense stiffened up after Washington climbed into its territory, forcing a Tress Way punt as a result.

8:35 p.m.: FIELD GOAL! Denver opens its scoring account with a field goal courtesy of a Will Lutz. Solid opening drive for the Broncos’ attack, who drove down the field with relative ease.

Broncos 3, Commanders 0

8:25 p.m.: And we’re off! Washington defers, so the Broncos will start the game with possession of the ball.

8:05 p.m.: Terry McLaurin will also make his long-awaited return to the field, having been sidelined for Washington’s last three games with a quadriceps injury. He has quite the matchup in the form of Surtain, the league’s reigning Defensive Player of the Year winner.

7:45 p.m.: There is plenty of excitement within Denver’s ranks. One reason for the joy? Patrick Surtain II is back in action after missing a month with a partially torn pectoral muscle.

Here he is embracing the traveling Denver faithful during warmups.

7:30 p.m.: Here’s a look at the Broncos and Commanders’ inactives ahead of tonight’s contest.
