In late 2014, a book called “The Mental Game of Football” made its way to Morris, who’d just been hired as the head coach at SMU.

The Denver Broncos clinched a spot in the NFL playoffs with a 34-26 win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. Here are five quick takeaways from the game.

As the 2025 season marches on, Courtland Sutton continues to climb the Denver Broncos' all-time receiving records. In the Broncos' 27-26 overtime win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday night, Sutton made more history, crossing the 6,000-yard receiving milestone by virtue of his five receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown.

Courtland Sutton is on pace to pass Ed McCaffrey for fifth place on the Broncos' all-time receiving list in Week 16.

The Green Bay Packers began the second quarter with a second down inside the 15. After a short completion to bring up third and six, Jordan Love’s pass was broken up at the goal line by Riley Moss to bring out Brandon McManus for another field goal.

Sutton, in his eighth season with the Broncos, signed a four-year contract extension with the team this summer. The former second-round pick now has 6,113 receiving yards during his career, which has turned out quite well for him in Denver. Those numbers would look even better if he didn't miss nearly all of the 2020 season.

The Green Bay Packers considered themselves Super Bowl contenders even before they added superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons in late August.

Marvin Mims Jr.'s return from a concussion has given the Denver Broncos a timely boost. Last week against the Las Vegas Raiders, the All-Pro return man emerged from a pile-up of players to burst away for a 48-yard punt return touchdown.
