Denver Broncos cornerbacks Pat Surtain and Riley Moss had huge games in a 34-18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon.
Surtain had two interceptions (including a 100-yard pick-six) and Moss grabbed the first interception of his career. After the game, the Broncos had the two defensive backs break down their takeaways.

“The ball was in the air and my eyes got big; I was like, ‘No way it’s happening,'” Surtain said after the game. “Then I caught the ball and I saw a full head of green grass and I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s a touchdown.’ I did not look back. I saw a flag and in my head, I said, ‘No way, this is not happening right now. I don’t know if it’s rigged or if someone’s trying to ruin my game,’ but I was just happy that it got [picked up]. That moment was very special. Seeing the crowd uproar after that play was pretty special.”
Surtain also had a post-game interview with Laura Okmin of Fox Sports after the win:
“All I seen was touchdown. I was tired after though.” 😂
