Broncos rookie RJ Harvey scored an important touchdown in Week 7, marking just the second of his season. Little did anyone know that it would signal the beginning of Harvey's breakout, which more than carried over into Week 8 against the Cowboys. Harvey would score three times in Denver's blowout of the Cowboys, marking a rare hat trick for a rookie.
On his first carry of the game, Harvey exploded for 40 yards, his longest NFL run, his longest NFL score, and his first rushing touchdown of the season. On Denver's third scoring drive, Harvey would take a direct snap from the center for a wildcat touchdown, something that he did frequently during his collegiate time at UCF.
