Russell Wilson found a way.
On Monday night in Buffalo, the Broncos elected to go for it on fourth-and-2 at the Bills’ 7-yard line with 7:23 left in the second quarter. As Denver’s starting quarterback faked a handoff to Javonte Williams, he sensed Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson closing in. Wilson rolled left and reverse spun before backpedaling to the 22-yard line and launching the ball to the edge of the end zone, where wide receiver Courtland Sutton toe-tapped for an improbable touchdown.
In Denver’s 24-22 win at Highmark Stadium, Wilson threw for under 200 yards for the fifth straight game.
