All Ja’Quan McMillian’s done the last several weeks for Denver’s defense is make big plays.
The second-year man has turned the nickel spot from a weakness into a strength for the Broncos and he made a splash again on Minnesota’s first drive of the night Sunday.
McMillian plucked a loose ball out of the air after safety Kareem Jackson forced a fumble on a Josh Dobbs run on the Vikings’ third play of the night.
It’s the second straight game in which McMillian’s recovered a fumble on the opponents’ first series. He stripped Buffalo running back James Cook on the first play last Monday and recovered it himself.
