For the most part, the Green Bay Packers were unable to do much on offense against a Denver Broncos defense that has been among the NFL’s worst. But sometimes, you are able to find good fortune when you need it.
With 8:31 left in the game, the Packers had fourth-and-2 at the Denver four-yard line, down 16-10. Quarterback Jordan Love tried to hit receiver Romeo Doubs on a quick slant, but the Football Gods had other plans.
The ball ricocheted off Doubs’ hands, and right into the awaiting hands of rookie receiver Jayden Reed. Nice work, if you can make it happen.

That wasn’t enough to give the Packers the game, though — the Broncos came back with a field goal on their next drive to make the score 19-17.
