The Denver Broncos trounced the Phoenix Cardinals 37-0 on December 16, 1989, in a one-sided Week 15 matchup. It was a dominant performance for the Broncos, who racked up 475 total yards compared to the Cardinals' measly 101.

Denver's offense put on a clinic, scoring touchdowns through the air and on the ground. John Elway completed 20 of 28 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns, while Bobby Humphrey rushed for 109 yards and another score. The Cardinals' defense struggled to contain the Broncos' attack, allowing Denver to march down the field at will.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals' offense sputtered throughout the game. They couldn't seem to move the ball against the Broncos' defense, only managing seven first downs and failing to reach the red zone all game. QB Jim McMahon completed just 14 of 25 passes for 79 yards and two interceptions.

Ultimately, the game was a mismatch, with the Broncos showcasing their offensive firepower and defensive dominance. It solidified Denver's playoff contention while burying the Cardinals' hopes of a winning season.
