"We are right there," Pat Surtain II said. "You can see last year and a couple of seasons prior to last year, we were very close. It was just that one drive or that one play that changes the game. Obviously, it's going to be a great game coming up. We have a lot to prove, so it should be very exciting."

"He does so much," Justin Simmons said. "He means so much to Colorado. What a story — [him being from] Wiggins and how much he means."

The Broncos' largest lead was six points, and it left the door open for the Ravens.

"I've never really lost many games like this," Russell Wilson said. "It's a new feeling — one I don't like, one I don't want to experience."

Jeudy suffered an ankle injury on the first offensive snap of Denver's Week 10 loss to the Titans.

As the Broncos close in on final stretch of their 2022 season, they'll get several more chances to test themselves against playoff contenders.

Denver also promoted WR Brandon Johnson to the active roster and elevated CB Faion Hicks and LB Harvey Langi for Denver's Week 13 game in Baltimore.

"He'll be a game-time decision," Head Coach Nathaniel Hackett said of Jeudy.

"He keeps coming out here and working," Hackett said. "Heck, he may work harder. I didn't think you could. I give him so much credit for that — to keep his head down, keep working with all the different people that he's gone out there on that field with. I just give him so much credit for that — all the different lineups that we've had. He just keeps grinding, keeps trying to make a play, keeps fighting — no matter what."

Denver also signed a pair of players to its practice squad.

Plus, Hackett discussed what he's saw from quarterback Russell Wilson in Week 12.

The Broncos' eighth loss of the season wasn't particularly close, though it was still just as painful.
