Nik Bonitto's pressure rate was fantastic on TNF (watch his amazing spin move)

After a slow start, Denver Broncos outside linebacker Nik Bonitto is heating up once again.

Bonitto was held without a sack through the team's first two games, and he had just one sack after four weeks. The fifth-year pass rusher has since totaled 2.5 sacks in the team's last two wins.

"Coach had a really good game plan for us this week, and all we had to do was execute," Bonitto said after a 17-14 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday evening. "We knew with this team we were going against, if we stop the run, we’re going to have a great opportunity to get after the pass. Obviously, with our DBs covering the back end too, it just works hand-in-hand.”

Bonitto finished the game with four tackles, seven pressures, one quarterback hit, one forced fumble and a shared sack. While he officially ended the night with just a half-sack, Bonitto generated pressure thoughout the game:

Bonitto's extremely impressive spin move was a big hit on social media during the game:

Earlier in the game, Bonitto forced a fumble, the seventh of his career. Bonitto is now just the fifth defender in franchise history to record at least one forced fumble in each of his first five seasons.

After the game, Bonitto credited defensive coordinator Vance Joseph for his game plan.

Bonitto is now up to eight quarterback hits and 3.5 sacks this season. He has totaled 39 sacks in his last 55 games with the Broncos and is well on his way to another Pro Bowl nod this fall.
