description

Even amidst a crowded 10-player fray in the pocket, Nik Bonitto knew just the needed technique to put himself among an exclusive group of Denver Broncos pass rushers. Too hot for opposing offensive tackles to handle throughout 2024’s season, Bonitto, with Denver searching for the finishing touches in Nov. 24, 2024’s win, reached for Las Vegas’ quarterback, forcing a strip-sack that ultimately served as the game-winner. Bonitto’s standout play — which prompted a game-icing field goal four plays later — provided him sack No. 10 of the season, marking him as Denver’s first to reach double-digit sacks since 2018. Rightfully labeled as a star on the evening, the third-year linebacker stockpiled three tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble, captaining a 29-19 win over the Raiders.
