Denver, which also wore the jerseys in a home win over the Raiders last year, will face Las Vegas on Thursday at 6:15 p.m. MT on Prime Video.

"He finds a way," wide receiver Courtland Sutton said of Nix. "He's a gamer. The dude shows up. We know that when we have him back there, we have a chance to win the game."

"Your team grows and evolves into something," Head Coach Sean Payton said after a 18-15 win. "I don't think there was a person in that locker room that felt like we were losing this game."

The Texans reached the Broncos' 20-yard line five times but failed to come away with a touchdown, thanks to a gritty performance from Denver's defense.
