The Denver Broncos are in need of a quarterback. Teddy Bridgewater has been injured. Drew Lock has been inconsistent.
Trickeration to the rescue.
In the first quarter of their Week 18 game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, Denver called on a wideout with a quarterback number on a trick play.
Courtland Sutton delivered. Watch as he looks to the right and follows his progressions as a quarterback would before delivering a strike to tight end Noah Fant.

The 16-yard play came on a drive that concluded with a Lock run for a touchdown to tie the game after a PAT.
