After winning five consecutive games to overcome a 1-5 start, both center Lloyd Cushenberry III and safety P.J. Locke expressed confidence in Denver's ability to again rebound from a tough loss.

Sutton's 45-yard touchdown reception cut Houston's lead to one score and gave the veteran receiver his ninth touchdown catch of 2023. 

"It's frustrating of course, but I still know that we have a lot of heart and a lot of confidence in this locker room, and guys know we can go out and compete with anybody," wide receiver Courtland Sutton said.

Cornerback Damarri Mathis is also active for Sunday's game.
