Denver gained 224 total yards in its 23–17 win over the Chargers; reports describe that as its fewest yards in a win in 40 years, not its fewest yards in any game.

Contemporary coverage reports it was the team’s lowest yardage in a win in 40 years, so the claim is supported if “put up” means in a winning game.
