Phillip Lindsay, running back

Once again, when the Broncos needed it the most, Phillip Lindsay provided a spark.

Not only did Lindsay punch the ball in for the team’s only touchdown of the game, but when the Broncos were leading 13-0 late, Lindsay broke a 30-yard run when he was actually hit pretty hard in the backfield and Joe Flacco sort of fell down handing him the ball.

Lindsay bounced the run to the outside, and darted down the field to put the Broncos well within Brandon McManus’ field goal range.

Although he finished this game with just 75 yards of offense, Lindsay provided the key offense for the Broncos when they needed it most, including the only touchdown of the game and his big run late.
