Broncos Dominate Cardinals: Zach Wilson Shines in Preseason Finale with 38-12 Victory
The Denver Broncos concluded their preseason with a dominant 38-12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on August 25, 2024. This game, held at Empower Field at Mile High, showcased the Broncos’ depth and highlighted key performances, particularly from quarterback Zach Wilson.
Wilson, fighting to secure the backup quarterback position, put on an impressive display, completing 16 of 25 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns. His connection with wide receiver Brandon Johnson was particularly effective, including a 46-yard touchdown pass that energized the crowd. Wilson also added a rushing touchdown, further solidifying his place on the roster.
The Broncos’ defense was equally impactful, with rookie linebacker Levelle Bailey delivering a standout moment. Bailey intercepted a pass from Cardinals quarterback Clayton Tune and returned it 94 yards for a touchdown, a play that encapsulated Denver’s defensive dominance throughout the game.
The Cardinals, on the other hand, struggled to find their rhythm. Their offense managed only one touchdown, with most of their points coming from field goals. The game served as a final evaluation for many players on the roster bubble, but the team appeared outmatched against a well-prepared Denver squad.
This victory wraps up the Broncos’ preseason on a high note as they now turn their attention to the regular season, where they will look to carry this momentum forward.
