Upon Further Review: How Broncos fooled Chargers’ defense on key scoring drive in fourth quarter

The Broncos had the Chargers’ defense looking silly on Sunday afternoon.

Denver faced a third-and-1 at Los Angeles’ 10-yard line when it lined up in a T formation with quarterback Russell Wilson under center while running back Javonte Williams, fullback Michael Burton and tight end Chris Manhertz lined up beside each other in the backfield.

Wilson fooled the Chargers into thinking he handed the ball off to Williams before the nine-time Pro Bowler rolled to the left. Tight end Adam Trautman ran undetected into the end zone, where he caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to take a 24-7 lead with 3:11 left in the fourth quarter.
