""When all of the goals and all of the objectives the Denver Broncos have in this season felt like they hung in the balance Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, it was the team's most decorated player -- cornerback Pat Surtain II -- who came to the rescue with his first interception of the season. "That's why he is who he is, he always comes through in the clutch for us,'' Cooper said. "That's why he's the best player.''"
"Surtain's interception came with 12 minutes, 46 seconds left in the third quarter when the Broncos trailed by nine points and the Packers had scored on their first five possessions of the game. After the play by the league's reigning Defensive Player of the Year, the Broncos outscored the Packers 20-3, held the Packers to 34 net yards passing in the second half and went on to a 34-26 victory in Empower Field at Mile High."
