The Denver Broncos pulled out their third consecutive win with a 24-22 victory over the Buffalo Bills on a wild sequence late, including a missed 41-yard field goal from Wil Lutz, a 12-men on the field penalty on Buffalo, and a 36-yarder nailed. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Following a 1-5 start, Sean Payton’s club clawed its way to 4-5 with wins over the Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs and now Bills.<\/p>\n

“It’s the NFL. I mean, credit [to] these guys,” Payton said after the win, via the official transcript. “There’s a little toughness to this league. I keep saying it — there’s that fine line between a groove and a rut. You have to bow up a little bit, and you have to demand it of each other at practice during the week. You win during the week. I felt like we’ve been practicing during the week better — a lot better. If you do that and you demand that of each other, then Sundays become a little bit less chaotic.”<\/p>\n

It’s been the defense that turned things around after getting scorched early in the season. Allowing 33.3 points per game through Weeks 1-6, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph’s unit has only given up 16.0 during the three-game win streak.<\/p>\n

It hasn’t always been pretty, but the Broncos are finding ways to win games, a Russell Wilson specialty.<\/p>\n
