Game notes

» The Denver Broncos own an 8-5 (.615) record all-time against the Detroit Lions, including a 4-2 mark at home

» Denver would collect its fourth home victory of the season with a win on Sunday, the most since 2019

» With one more game with a 70 percent or higher completion rate, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater would join Peyton Manning as the only Broncos with six such games in a season

» Justin Simmons needs one interception to match his career single-season high of five, set last season

» With one interception, safety Caden Sterns would become the second Broncos player (Pat Surtain II) with at least three interceptions in his rookie season since Steve Atwater (3) in 1989

» Surtain can become just the fifth NFL rookie in the past 10 years with at least five interceptions with a pick on Sunday

» With an pick, Surtain would also move into fourth place all-time for interceptions by a Broncos rookie
