Watch: Simmons with second INT, Rypien TD pass and Broncos are rolling

After being down 9-3 to the hapless Arizona Cardinals, the Denver Broncos came to life.

The team has scored three second half touchdowns, including a pair by running backs Marlon Mack and Latavius Murray. The third came courtesy of a Brett Rypien toss to tight end Eric Tomlinson, after a Justin Simmons interception. It was the safety’s second pick of the afternoon.

Another one. 🚫

Both plays had Denver firmly in control and up 24-9. Arizona has since scored to tighten things up, but there’s just about six minutes to go in the game, as the Broncos to try to hang on and grab their fourth win of the season.
