The Denver Broncos drew up a trick play in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers for a big 49-yard gain.
Broncos running back Javonte Williams took the snap from a Wildcat formation. Williams then gave the ball to wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who tossed it back to quarterback Bo Nix. The rookie QB then threw a 49-yard pass to wide receiver Josh Reynolds.
