Gilmore spoke post-match about the challenge Wilson posed and how it felt winning the game for his side.
“They tried me like two times in a row the play before [the interception]. I knew he was gonna come back and I had to make him pay. He kept trying me, so I made him pay.”
“They may not look good all the time, but we gotta come out with a win, and we did that today.”
It seemed throughout the game that the Broncos would pick up yet another gritty win this season however largely thanks to Gilmore this wasn’t the case, as the Indianapolis side came out on top to move to (2-2-1).
