Sometimes, the most unlikely and unexpected players come through in the most clutch moments in the NFL. The Denver Broncos experienced it firsthand on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
The Broncos had to create their offensive gameplan without rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant, who had been really coming on over the last month or so. With Bryant sidelined for a week with a hamstring injury, it was going to be up to the other guys on the 53-man roster to step up in his place.
And the Broncos also called upon veteran receiver Michael Bandy, essentially a "lifer" on this team's practice squad and a guy who barely ever plays any regular season snaps, despite being one of the longest-tenured players on the team at this point.
