Sutton caught the pass and the Broncos were able to take a 13-7 lead at halftime.

“One of the things he does so well is extended plays, and this was a perfect example,” Broncos head coach Sean Payton told NBC's Melissa Stark at the half. “In terms of the angle he threw it from… Look, I think it's going to be important for us to have some balance in the second half to keep this game going.”

It wasn't exactly an offensive explosion from Denver in the first half. Nix was 15 of 24 passing for 146 yards and a touchdown to Sutton. The team had just 39 yards on the floor, five of which came from Nix.
