The 24-year-old rookie, who has been a bright spot in Denver’s offense this season, threw for 219 yards and three touchdowns, including a dramatic last-second pass to send the game into overtime.
However, the Broncos ultimately fell short, dropping their record to 9-7. Despite the on-field disappointment, Izzy reminded her husband—and Broncos fans—of what truly matters.
