DENVER -- After a lackluster first half void of offensive fireworks, New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott provided sparks early in the third quarter against the Denver Broncos on Sunday night.

Elliott's athletic hurdle, and then dash to the end zone for a diving touchdown, is likely to be showing up on SportsCenter's Top 10 plays segment.

The Patriots were trailing 7-3, and facing second-and-10 from the Denver's 15-yard line.

Elliott caught a short pass from quarterback Bailey Zappe -- who was in the shotgun and had dropped back to the 23 -- at the 16-yard line on the right side of the field.
