Nik Bonitto

If Denver’s Week 10 opponent had any plays of “looking cool” during Thursday Night Football’s throwback jersey-themed game, Nik Bonitto and his elite pass-rushing crew arrived with the perfect foil: introducing them to the grass as often as possible. The Defensive Player of the Year finalist reaffirmed his greatness on Nov. 6, 2025, starting with an in-the-backfield takedown against Las Vegas’ Pro Bowl tight end, telegraphing the Raiders’ trick play for a four-yard loss. Other positions weren’t safe either, with Bonitto using a tornado-esque spin move to join his teammate for a group effort-like sack just minutes later. The Broncos’ 10-7 win encouraged six sacks, and Bonitto stood at the forefront, pairing his one-and-a-half sack finish with five tackles, a whopping six pressures, and three QB hits.
