Broncos’ Pat Surtain II goes 70 yards for pick-six

Pat Surtain II picked off Justin Herbert and took the interception 70 yards to paydirt

Test Pat Surtain II in the Denver Broncos’ secondary at your own risk.

Justin Herbert had already thrown a pass that the Broncos’ first-round pick had picked earlier in the game.

The Chargers’ second-year quarterback wasn’t convinced and he went back at Surtain, the ninth pick in the 2021 NFL draft. Herbert paid the price … big time.

Surtain made his second interception of the game and took it 70 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter of Denver’s 28-13 victory over the Chargers in an AFC West battle.

Those were the second and third picks of Surtain’s career.

Watch Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith beat former Alabama teammate Pat Surtain II for an epic touchdown catch

They were teammates at Alabama, then first-round picks in the 2021 NFL draft.

But Sunday, they were opponents, as DeVonta Smith and the Philadelphia Eagles battled Pat Surtain II and the Denver Broncos.

The Eagles score a big win over the Broncos on the road, and Smith got the better of Surtain on a 36-yard leaping touchdown grab late in the first quarter. Smith finished the day with 66 yards on four receptions, scoring twice as the Eagles pulled away for a 30-13 victory.

After the game, Smith joined Surtain and his Denver teammate, fellow Crimson Tide alumni Jerry Jeudy, for a jersey swap:

Behind Enemy Lines: Week 2 Q&A with Broncos Wire

With the Jags and Broncos set to battle in a few days, we sat down with @ByJonHeath of @TheBroncosWire to discuss Teddy Bridgewater and company.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will enter their regular season home opener in need of a win after unexpectedly falling to the Houston Texans Week 1. That won’t be an easy task as they will face a Denver Broncos team that has even more talent than the one they faced Week 1.

The Broncos will have some momentum by their side after a 27-13 win over the New York Giants in Denver, a game where they showed they can get after it on defense and are a bit more experienced at the quarterback position than they previously were in 2020. However, to get a little more intel on them we spoke with Broncos Wire editor Jon Heath, who particularly discussed the receivers corps, some other players who Jags fans may not be as familiar with, and more.

Here is what he had to say about Vic Fangio’s group as they are a few days away from their first regular season away game.
