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.
