The evolution of Emmanuel Sanders has reached new heights.
Who says you can’t teach an old-dog, or a ninth-year NFL receiver, new tricks?
The Broncos defeated the Cardinals 45-10 on Thursday night, snapping a four-game slide, and Denver’s first offensive touchdown stunned the orange-heavy crowd inside State Farm Stadium. Sanders, four days removed from a taunting flag against the Rams which cost Denver four points in a three-point defeat, wasted no time restoring his reputation.
The Broncos’ offense faced first-and-5 from just inside the Arizona 30-yard line midway through the first quarter. Quarterback Case Keenum took a snap under center and faked a handoff to running back Royce Freeman while Sanders got the ball on an end-around.
