Watch: Gardner Minshew drops one into Ameer Abdullah to take early lead over Broncos

Early in the second quarter of the Raiders week 12 game vs the Broncos, Gardner Minshew connected with Ameer Abdullah on a gorgeous TD pass.

It’s been pretty competitive early in the week 12 matchup between the Broncos and Raiders. The Broncos got on the board late in the first quarter with a field goal, but the Raiders quickly answered with a touchdown.

The pass and catch from Gardner Minshew to Ameer Abdullah was a sight to see. Check it out.

Minshew put the ball right over the shoulder of the linebacker who was in tight coverage, but turned around on the play. And Abdullah made a masterful catch around the defender for the score.

It’s a surprising start for the Raiders against a tough Broncos team with one of the best defenses in the league. But it’s still early in the second quarter, so there’s a lot of game left to play.

Abdullah got the start at running back with both Zamir White and Alexander Mattison OUT with injuries. Abdullah leads the Raiders in yards from scrimmage so far with six touches (four carries) for 30 yards and the touchdown.
