McManus matched Carlson with a 52-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter to make it 13-10.
Carlson answered that with a career-long 57-yard field goal to tie it with 7:11 left, and McManus again put the Broncos ahead with a 48-yarder with 3:30 left.
Las Vegas then went 71 yards in 1:27 to set up Carlson’s 25-yarder to send it to overtime.
