CHICAGO -- As Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton has tried to figure out how to best fit running back Jaleel McLaughlin and wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. into the team’s offense, the two rookies are making a strong case for playing time.
In the Broncos’ 31-28 comeback victory over the Chicago Bears in Soldier Field Sunday, Mims’ 48-yard reception in the closing minutes put the Broncos in position for kicker Wil Lutz ’s 51-yard game-winner while McLaughlin led the team in rushing with 72 yards on seven carries with a receiving touchdown.
