Brissett completed 15 of 25 passes for 202 yards during Sunday's 15-13 win over Denver. He added 34 yards on six carries and lost a fumble during the contest.
Back on his own 10-yard line with less than two minutes to get into field-goal range, Brissett slipped out of a would-be Von Miller sack and rolled out to complete a dart to T.Y. Hilton for a gain of 35 yards to kickstart the winning drive. Brissett had probably his worst statistical game of the season Sunday against a very tough Denver pass defense, but he still found a way to make it work. Brissett has scored multiple times in five of seven games and has done well protecting the ball. Indianapolis still typically leans heaviest on its running game and defense, but Brissett has developed as an impressive maestro when needed. Next up for the emerging quarterback is an improving Steelers defense in Week 9.
