Wil Lutz's 53-yard field goal in overtime lifted Denver to a 17-14 win over defending champions Seattle.
The Denver Broncos just took down the reigning Super Bowl champions. Wil Lutz drilled a 53-yard field goal in overtime to beat the Seattle Seahawks 17-14 in an NFL nail-biter.
The kick came with the game on the line, and Lutz did not blink. A 53-yarder is a long try in any situation, and he sent it through to finish a contest the two sides could not settle in regulation.
The final score tells the story. Neither team was able to pull away, and every possession carried weight. Seattle came in as defending champions and left having been stopped by a late kick in extra time.
For Denver, beating the team holding the Lombardi Trophy is a statement result. For Seattle, it is a reminder that a one-score game can turn on a single swing of a kicker's leg.
