The Broncos’ Monday Night Football win over the Buffalo will be remembered for quarterback Russell Wilson’s impossible touchdown pass to wideout Courtland Sutton, the defense forcing four turnovers and the Bills being penalized for having 12 men on the field during the final seconds of regulation.
But running back Samaje Perine might’ve been the unsung hero.
Denver was down by a point with 1:55 left in the fourth quarter when Wilson stepped up in a collapsing pocket. Perine turned his head to catch a shovel pass from Wilson before running down the field for an 18-yard gain, jump-starting the Broncos’ game-winning scoring drive.
