Adam Trautman made a significant impact in the Broncos' victory over the Panthers, catching a 19-yard touchdown pass that helped the team take the lead. Originally a third-round pick from the Saints, Trautman has become a reliable option in the passing game, finishing as the team's second-leading receiver with four receptions for 85 yards. His performance on National Tight End Day marked a turning point for the tight end position in Denver, which had struggled for production earlier in the season.
