5 best moments from Broncos’ 2019 season

The Denver Broncos started poorly but finished strong in 2019 with some great moments along the way. Here are the best moments of the year.

4. Sutton’s one-handed grab

This play will go down as a lot of things.

For one, Courtland Sutton will be hard-pressed to ever make a better catch than this one. In the first quarter in their December game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Sutton made an incredible one-handed grab to break a scoreless tie.

It will also be remembered as the first career touchdown pass thrown by Drew Lock, one he’ll surely not forget.

Finally, it will hopefully be remembered as the start of a long-lasting connection between Lock and Sutton.

3. Lindsay eclipses 1,000 yards

It might not seem like it’s all that important, as 1,000 yards rushing isn’t considered the accomplishment for a running back that it once was. But when you consider that no other undrafted running back aside from Phillip Lindsay has ever done it the first two years of their career, it’s something to talk about.

Lindsay didn’t make it easy, needing 42 yards against the Oakland Raiders in the season finale to reach the mark.

Through three quarters, Lindsay had 36 yards rushing. On 1st-and-10 from their own 24-yard line, Lindsay gained six yards to put him at exactly 1,000 for the season. He finished the year with 1,011 yards on the ground.

It remains to be seen where Lindsay finishes among running backs in team history, but his first two years have been better than anyone could have expected.
