Nick Bolton scoops up Drew Lock fumble, rumbles 86 yards for touchdown

Nick Bolton delivered some Mizzou on Mizzou crime on Saturday night on a scoop and score against Drew Lock.

The Kansas City Chiefs rookie and former Tigers linebacker was in the right place at the right time against the former Mizzou QB, and scooped a fumble in the Denver Broncos backfield, then scampered 86 yards for a touchdown. Patrick Mahomes tacked on a 2-point conversion on a rush into the end zone to make it Chiefs 28-21 with 7:42 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Bolton has had an active game for the Chiefs with 6 tackles with less than 5 minutes remaining. Lock, meanwhile, is 12-for-24 passing for 162 yards, including 4 carries for 35 yards and 2 touchdowns.

OH. MY. GOD.@_nickbolton2 with an 86 yard scoop and score! #ChiefsKingdom
