Although the Denver Broncos won a big game Sunday, their receivers couldn't catch a break — dropping seven passes on a blustery day.

Not everyone, however, was having an off day. The team's ball-boy, Eric McCready, drew growing cheers as he caught ball after ball in the end zone, nearly flawlessly.

Doing his usually faceless job, he outshined the highly paid pros, snaring kickoffs, field goals and a few stray punts.

"I've always heard from friends and family after games, but most people don't even know I'm back there so it's been really funny to see all of the attention," McCready said.
