It has been a looooong time since the Broncos had a pick-six.
And when I say long, I also mean the longest in the NFL to date.
The last time the Broncos’ defense intercepted a pass and took it to the house, according to Gambling.com, was Nov. 28, 2021 – more than two years ago.

And that pick-six 39 games ago in Week 12 against the Chargers came from none other than then-rookie corner Pat Surtain II – his first career pick-six.
Pat Surtain II really did that 😲
He went 70 yards for his first career pick-6, which led to a 28-13 win for the Broncos (+130) over the Chargers 🐎🏈👀 #CaesTheYearpic.twitter.com/lxxUSHkATO

Now in his third NFL season, Surtain only has one interception this year, which came against the Jets in Week 5.
But with a winning season on the line for the Broncos in their final matchup against the Raiders, there is no game like the present to end this pick-six drought.
