MINNEAPOLIS — With the way Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton is playing, he might need to make “bro couldn’t guard me” his new catchphrase.
Sutton’s breakout sophomore season continued Sunday against the Vikings with five receptions for 113 yards. His performance was a bright spot in what turned out to be a sour day for the Broncos, who blew a 20-point halftime lead in the 27-23 loss.
In addition to his domination of Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes, Sutton also had a 38-yard pass completion on a trick play. It was another performance that indicated Sutton — who initially dropped “bro couldn’t guard me” after a big performance against the Colts’ Rock Ya-Sin in Week 8 — is becoming one of the league’s toughest wideouts to cover.
