Derius Davis has broken Monday Night Football wide open.
After the Chargers went three and out on their opening drive, Los Angeles’ defense managed to hold the Jets to a three and out of their own. That brought out veteran punter Thomas Morstead for his first punt of the night.
As ESPN announcer Joe Buck praised Morstead for “his best season of his career in some ways”, the kick continued to sail before reaching Davis at the 13 with no defenders near him. The rookie immediately turned upfield, making one cut through a hole in the middle of the field and rocketing to the end zone to give the Chargers a 7-0 lead.
