Ehlinger Shines as Broncos Win Preseason Finale | Denver News

Sam Ehlinger shredded the Vikings in the Broncos’ preseason finale, throwing three touchdowns including an 88-yard bomb to rookie tight end Justin Joly — a play Ehlinger called “like the ball was in the air forever.” The Broncos cruised to a 34-6 win, showcasing depth at QB with Ehlinger and Jarrett Stidham splitting snaps while Bo Nix sat out. Running back Jaleel McLaughlin had a breakout night, adding TDs on both runs and receptions, and despite Marvin Mims Jr. exiting early with a foot injury (later confirmed as just a bruise), Sean Payton assured fans he’s fine. On defense, pass rusher Jonathon Cooper faces a felony strangulation charge and looming suspension, while minor injuries dotted the field. With the regular season opener against the Chiefs just around the corner, the Broncos ended preseason strong — and their QB room looks promising.
