In response to the folks at Zebra Sports activities, Denver Broncos star quarterback Bo Nix threw the second longest accomplished cross since they started monitoring this in 2016. The 67.0 yard throw was simply shy of the highest mark and resulted in a 51-yard landing cross to Marvin Mims Jr.

Up till that play the Broncos offense hadn’t carried out a lot for an excellent stretch of time and it had felt just like the Cincinnati Bengals had been on the verge of working away with it. Whereas they end result ended up in a Broncos loss, it’s performs like this that may hold a staff in video games. It’s good to have a franchise quarterback, eh?
A number of the different NextGen information that got here out included some fascinating stuff on Jaleel McLaughlin and Courtland Sutton, in addition to, one other insane throw and catch to Marvin Mims Jr.
Jaleel McLaughlin didn’t face a single stacked field in Week 17, taking 10 carries for 69 yards (+22 RYOE, seventh highest). He took 70.0% of his carries over anticipated, the very best mark of the week.
Courtland Sutton was the one certified receiver in Week 17 to have a median cushion of below 3.0 yards (2.9) as he was constantly pressed on the LOS. On his 9 targets, he averaged 2.1 yards of separation (tied tenth lowest) and made 5 catches for 55 yards and a TD.
On 4th & 1 with 14 seconds left in regulation trailing 24-17, Bo Nix linked with Marvin Mims in double protection for a 25-yard TD. Mims had 0.5 and 1.0 yards of separation from the closest 2 defenders and the catch had a completion likelihood of 13.9% (most unbelievable of the week and twelfth most unbelievable on the season).
That catch was definitely probably the most unbelievable completion I’ve seen all season, however apparently it was solely the twelfth most unbelievable.
It truly is unlucky that the Broncos got here up quick on this recreation. The choice to not go for 2 on the street like that was a poor one in hindsight as a consequence of how properly the Bengals offense was shifting the ball all recreation. Hopefully subsequent time, Sean Payton remembers to go for all of the marbles there.
