Jerry Jeudy delivers best game of his NFL career as former Alabama star shines for Denver
Jerry Jeudy delivered the best game of his NFL career, as he fueled the Denver offense to its best game of the season.
The former Alabama wide receiver had 3 touchdowns, and by midway through the fourth quarter, Jeudy had 8 catches for 73 yards and 3 touchdowns on 8 targets. Jeudy is the first Broncos player with 3 receiving touchdowns in a game since Demaryius Thomas on Nov. 23, 2014 against the Dolphins. Jeudy had 3 receiving touchdowns over his prior 20 games combined entering the day, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
The Broncos trail 34-28 with less than 6 minutes remaining, but those 28 points are a season-high for a team that has struggled on offense. Jeudy’s third touchdown catch also came from Brett Rypien after Russell Wilson left the game following a hard hit near the goal line.
