Sometimes, you just have to go out and take the opportunities handed to you, and that's exactly what the Denver Broncos did on Thursday night in Louisiana.

The Broncos made the best of the injury-riddled New Orleans Saints, who looked just that part. Denver went out and earned a 33-10 win on Thursday night at the Superdome.

Broncos running back Javonte Williams found the burst he desperately needed, finding the end zone twice in the game, while kicker Will Lutz went 3-for-3 on field goal tries in the first half.

The second half started pretty much the same way the first half went, as Lutz drilled his fourth field goal of the night. On their next drive, Williams found the end zone a second time to go up 26-3. For good measure, in the fourth quarter, Denver returned a fumble to the house for a score, pretty much icing it with a 33-3 lead.

The Saints looked like a team who had their backup quarterback in the game and their top two targets out — which is exactly what they were. Spencer Rattler started as Derek Carr nursed an injury, and both Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed were inactive.
