When wide receiver Trindon Holliday fielded the kickoff to start the second half at Cincinnati on Sunday, he expected running back Lance Ball to tell him to take a knee.
Instead, Ball let him take a shot, and 105-yard later, Holliday was into the end zone and the Broncos’ record book with the longest play in team history.
On Wednesday, the NFL named Holliday its AFC Special Teams Player of the Week, marking the first time the second-year player has earned that honor.
Holliday becomes the 23rd all-time AFC Special Teams Player of the Week in Broncos history, and the second this season after Matt Prater took home the honor for Week 4.
The award is the fifth individual weekly accolade for the Broncos this season, as following each of the team’s wins, someone on the roster has earned an individual weekly honor. The Broncos’ five weekly awards are tops among all NFL teams through nine weeks of play.

I see America has taken precedence over the Broncos the last couple of days, LOL. Good for America, now about the results, that can be argued, haha. 4 more years, you can’t blame me… or Elway….
Well deserved Trindon!
Congrats to Ball for not telling Holliday to take a knee.
If they can develope Holliday to consistently make good decisions and to have good hands, he is a deadly return man. Consistently giving Manning good field position could significantly up Denvers points per game.
here is to continued success for Trindon and for the Broncos.
Have we seen Trindon break a tackle? Hang on to the ball when it is being punched out?
Just curious!
I don’t know if it is breaking a tackle or not but he is so fast that when someone tries to arm tackle him, he flies another 10 yards before he hits the ground. Usually, in somekind of spinning pinwheel. He has only dropped the ball once since becoming a Bronco. I’m sure he is getting good coaching and that will go a long way.
Haven’t had him long enough to see that Daddy, but he’s had a fumble & muff, so seeing him take one to the house was good!
Congrats to Holiday. When I first heard that he got waived by the Texans, my first thought was I hope the Broncos snag him. Nice move by the Broncos and nice 105 KR for a TD by Trindon. There could be more to come. HaHa!!
TRINDON”Super8″ Holliday was the most exciting LSU football …in 40 years … He was GIANT in the SEC.. His Freshman year he almost single handily saved the entire season for LSU with ah incredible coast to coast touchdown kick-off return vs Arkansas….… I was lucky enough to be in the Little Rocks War Memorial stands that Friday afternoon on the day after Thanksgiving to witness TIGER NATION HISTORY.
Holliday could be another Bob Hayes if the coaching staff would just utilize his talent as ah wide receiver… Les Miles was to dad gum stupid to completely realize this Bayou Flyers incredible potential .… He can run past any NFL DB in single coverage. Holliday was always ah positive force for the University, LSU and the entire state of Louisiana. For 4 straight years in the SEC , he never let his team down, and he was never anything but great. In 40 years of watching college football I have never seen one player be on the receiving end of blatant face mask violations than Holliday.… The vast, vast majority never even called…
Trindon Holliday one day will be in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. I’m so glad he is helping the Bronco’s win games.
