A.J. Derby played in the 14th game of his career Sunday. The Broncos tight end was unable to catch a touchdown pass in his first 13.

When Derby finally did cross the goal line, in the first quarter against the Raiders, he did so in style.

Streaking down the right sideline, Derby shot his right arm above his head and snagged the pass from Trevor Siemian at the 8-yard line. The tight end never brought his other hand onto the ball as he tiptoed down the sideline and into the end zone for a 22-yard score that put the Broncos up 7-0.
