Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix made a huge play in the second quarter against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, catching a two-yard touchdown pass from wide receiver Courtland Sutton.

Yes, you read that right: Sutton threw the pass to Nix.

Facing a fourth-and-goal from Baltimore’s two-yard line, Nix handed the ball to running back Javonte Williams behind the line of scrimmage. Williams then gave a reverse to Sutton, who then threw to Nix in the end zone.

Nix jumped up and beat Ravens safety Marcus Williams to the ball and came down with the catch in the end zone for a touchdown. Here’s a sampling of how fans and pundits reacted to the impressive play on Twitter/X.

Nix is the only player in the NFL with a passing, rushing and receiving touchdown this season. He also currently leads all rookies this season with 13 scores. At the time of publication, Denver trails in Baltimore 17-10.

Bo Nix made the tackle on Colts’ fumble return vs. Broncos

Love to see that hustle and effort from quarterback Bo Nix! But please, Bo, don’t do that again.

Late in the first quarter of Sunday’s game between the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts, rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw a four-yard pass to tight end Lucas Krull with the game tied 10-10.

Krull caught the pass and then quickly fumbled the ball. Colts linebacker Cameron McGrone forced the ball out and cornerback Chris Lammons recovered it, with Lammons returning the football eight yards before being tackled.

The tackler? Nix, with a late assist from center Alex Forsyth.

You can see Nix enter the frame at the 0:08 mark of the below video. Nix then dives low, shoulder first to knock Lammons off his feet:

It’s certainly an impressive effort and hustle play by Nix, but not necessarily one the Broncos will want him to repeat. Denver won’t want the first-round pick to risk injury, especially after guard Ben Powers bruised his ribs when attempting to make a tackle after an interception on Sunday.

Nice job, Bo. Great effort. Just don’t do it again, please.

NFL Highlights: Kyle Hamilton’s Pro Bowl Interception

Putting the bow on a memorable 2023 season for a Notre Dame great

Former Notre Dame All-American safety [autotag]Kyle Hamilton[/autotag] had a massive showing for the Baltimore Ravens in 2023.  The 2022 first round draft pick earned All-Pro status and was selected to his first Pro Bowl.

In that Pro Bowl that was played on the first Sunday of February, Hamilton made a huge play in trying to set up an AFC comeback.  With the NFC leading 64-59 with just over three minutes to go it looked like they were about to score to essentially put an end to the contest.

Instead, Hamilton took advantage of a tipped pass and put the AFC in position to win the game.  Check it out below:

The AFC got deep into NFC territory but was ultimately stopped on fourth and goal.

Hamilton had four interceptions on the year, including a pick-six which was the first of his NFL career.

See the best photos from Hamilton’s 2023-24 season here.

WATCH: Rachaad White punches in first score of Week 13 game vs. Panthers

Check out Tampa Bay’s first touchdown of the game against the Carolina Panthers:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got the cannons firing early on Sunday.

The team marched down the field on its second drive, and it got in striking distance of the red zone when wide receiver Mike Evans caught a 40-yard pass. That pass got Evans within 105 yards of his 1,000-yard season, and Tampa Bay made sure to capitalize. Evans had pass interference committed against him the next play, and when that brought the team to the one-yard line, running back Rachaad White took it across the goal line for a score and a 7-0 lead.

You can see that play right here below:

Everyone loved Quinn Meinerz’s blocking on ‘Monday Night Football’

Broncos guard Quinn Meinerz is a beast! 😤

Quinn Meinerz remains a fan favorite.

The 24-year-old guard played college football at Wisconsin-Whitewater, a Division III program, and his fantastic college film, impressive performance at the Senior Bowl and unique outdoor workout videos caught the attention of NFL teams in 2021.

Denver used a third-round pick to select Meinerz in the NFL draft three years ago and he quickly emerged as a fan favorite after “letting the belly breathe” at practice. Meinerz is much more than a meme, though. He is emerging as one of the best guards in the NFL, and a Pro Bowl nod could be within reach this season.

Twitter gushed with praise for Meinerz after his impressive performance against the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football in Week 10.

Chargers vs. Browns first-half highlights

Get caught up with all the action from the Chargers vs. Browns after two quarters of play.

The Chargers trail the Browns at the half, 21-17.

Here are all of Los Angeles’ notable highlights from the first two quarters.

Down 14-0, the Chargers needed a spark. After a kickoff went through the back of the end zone, Los Angeles started from their own 25. But on first down, Ekeler found a hole, burst through it, and took it 71 yards to the Cleveland 4.

With a first down from their own 44, Joe Lombardi decided to dial up a deep shot. Justin Herbert launched his trademark down-the-field throw and Williams boxed out Denzel Ward and made a leaping grab for 38 yards.

Early in the second quarter, Joshua Kelley made his presence known with a five-yard rushing touchdown. Kelley went untouched after great blocking to seal the edge for him.

With the Chargers facing a second and goal, Herbert was under pressure by Myles Garrett and was forced to make a quick throw to avoid taking a hit. Luckily, the play called for a screen to Ekeler, who hauled in the desperation pass with one hand. Ekeler then made a defender miss and got a few blocks to score from 12 yards out.

WATCH: Texas ex Brandon Jones stands out on Monday Night Football

Brandon Jones is making plays on the biggest stage.

Second-year safety Brandon Jones has become a valued weapon for the Miami Dolphins defense.

Jones has a unique ability to pressure the quarterback from his defensive back position, making him one of the more versatile players on the field.

The Miami defense shined yet again on Monday Night Football against the Saints and Jones was a huge part of it.

In the third quarter, Jones brought down rookie quarterback Ian book on a crucial third-down play, keeping the momentum on the Miami side.

The sack marked Jones’ fifth on the season, more than any other defensive back in the NFL this year.

Jones came up big later in the half snagging his first career interception to seal the Miami victory.

With the win on Monday, Jones’ Dolphins improved to 8-7 on the season and currently hold an AFC wildcard spot. A remarkable turnaround after starting the season 1-7.

Many former Longhorns stood out in the NFL in Week 9

From Colt McCoy to Sam Ehlinger, several former Longhorns had a big weekend in the NFL. Take a look at some of their highlights here.

The current Longhorns are struggling, falling short in their fourth straight game on Saturday, but many former players enjoyed success with their respective NFL teams over the weekend.

There are currently 33 lifetime Longhorns on an active NFL roster. It ranks as the 13th most amongst schools in the country.

Starting on Thursday night football, former Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger made his NFL debut for Indianapolis. Ehlinger took the first regular-season snap of his career after spraining his ACL during the preseason.

Colt McCoy started in place of injured Kyler Murray for Arizona on Sunday, proving he is one of the best backup quarterbacks in the league. McCoy carved up the 49ers for 249 yards, one touchdown and a remarkably efficient 85% completion percentage. The Cardinals beat the 49ers 31-17 behind Colt’s stellar performance.

Denver rookie Caden Sterns has been capitalizing on his early playing time for the Broncos. Established quarterbacks are becoming well aware of Sterns’ play. After sacking Lamar Jackson earlier in the season, Sterns picked off Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott this weekend, helping seal a 30-16 victory for Denver.

Alex Okafor came up with a huge blocked field goal for the Chiefs. The block kept Green Bay off the scoreboard early as Kansas City went on to win 13-7.

Devin Duvernay made the best catch of his NFL career on Sunday. He reached back to snag a Lamar Jackson pass with one hand to tie the game in the fourth quarter for Baltimore.

In the same game, the Ravens won 34-31 in overtime on future hall of fame kicker Justin Tucker’s 18th career game-winning field goal.

Here are a few highlights from the former Horns in Week 9:
