Rating The Broncos: Phillip Lindsay’s second-effort yards, rush defense highlight shutout of Titans

0

The play should have failed and put the Broncos in a second-and-long situation midway through the fourth quarter Sunday against Tennessee.

But running back Phillip Lindsay’s vision and second effort made something out of nothing.

It was first-and-10 from the Broncos’ 45. The timing was off immediately because left guard Dalton Risner clicked cleats with quarterback Joe Flacco, who had to lunge to give Lindsay the hand-off. Outside linebacker Reggie Gilbert beat a block attempt by tight end Jeff Heuerman and collided with Lindsay behind the line of scrimmage.
