The veteran wide receiver caught a touchdown pass in Sunday’s win, and also took some direct snaps out of the shotgun. It came a week after he threw a touchdown pass and ran a few direct snaps as well. For Shorts, the offensive creativity has been met with a smile.
“It’s fun, especially when it works,” Shorts said. “When things go well and get positive yards on those plays, it makes the game a whole lot fun.”
He caught a first quarter pass for three yards and a score. Quarterback Brian Hoyer was in the shotgun, took the snap and flipped it forward to Shorts, who had been in motion prior to the snap.
