After making his Denver debut on Sunday, J.T. Gray was cut by the Broncos with an injury designation on Tuesday.

It is becoming a familiar script. Denver QB Bo Nix struggled early, but found his rhythm in the fourth quarter for an 18-15 win.

The Denver Broncos played on Sunday without their All-Pro returner, Marvin Mims Jr., and it cost them. Mims suffered a concussion at the tail end of the Broncos' Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys, which caused him to miss Week 9's tight win over the Houston Texans.

The Denver Broncos might’ve walked out of NRG Stadium with a 7–2 record and sole possession of first place in the AFC West, but don’t mistake this one for a victory lap. Their 18–15 win over the Houston Texans was more of an escape act.
