Broncos RB Javonte Williams ran 14 times for 88 yards and two TDs in Thursday night's win over the Saints. He found more running room than he did in any of his previous six games this season and consistently added extra yards with his tackle-breaking ability. Per Pro Football Focus, Williams averaged 3.6 yards after contact per attempt. He tacked on 23 more yards on three receptions to go over 110 total yards on the night.
Javonte Williams rushes for two touchdowns as the Denver Broncos inflict a fifth successive defeat on the New Orleans Saints
Coming off an awful day against the Chargers, Williams rebounded with just the second two-touchdown game of his career, and first since 2021. His 111 yards from scrimmage matched his season high from two weeks ago against the Raiders. Perhaps most promisingly for Williams? Rookie Audric Estime lost a soft fumble this evening and seems unlikely to challenge Williams' early-down supremacy any time soon. Williams is severely game-script sensitive in this limited offense, but the Panthers are a cake Week 8 matchup that should get him into the top 24.
Javonte Williams scored his second touchdown of the night, a 5-yard run with 5:53 remaining in the third quarter to give the Broncos a 26-3 lead on the Saints.
