Mike Klis joined Scotty Gange live on 9NEWS to discuss the latest on the Denver Broncos on Monday, October 2, 2023.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo — It wasn’t so muchCooper was in the end zone after picking up a Nik Bonitto forced fumble and returning it 35 yards for a game-tying touchdown roughly halfway through the fourth quarter of the Broncos’ 31-28 comeback victory against the Chicago Bears. Cooper’s momentum from outracing Bears quarterback Justin Fields halted at the back of the Soldier Field end zone. Cooper stopped, turned around, jumped into the arms of Bonitto, dropped the football and ran away from the crowd.
“My mind went blank,’’ Cooper said, smiling during his interview with 9NEWS for the Broncos Huddle. “I didn’t even know what happened, honestly. I turned around, I saw my guy Nik Bonitto right there, jumped in the air, gave him a hug. It took a minute with everybody coming over to me for me to realize, I just scored a touchdown!”
“Just the fact we were out there together was awesome,’’ Cooper said. “That was the first time playing against each other like that. Just told him I love him. Told him he’s doing a great job. And we talked again after the game. It was really cool to see him out there without a red jersey where I can’t hit him. This time I could actually tackle him. It was pretty cool.”
“I give credit to guys like Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson that really switched our mindset around in order to get this thing going.” "Just sad,'' Cooper said when asked about Gregory's departure."Obviously, this is part of the business and part of the game in the NFL but you always hate to see a guy go like that.
But while No. 53 is special in Broncos lore, the “Block O” jersey became a distinguished badge of honor for Cooper at Ohio State and when the NFL allowed defensive players to wear their college numbers and No. 0, Cooper made the switch.
