After wowing Broncos fans with a brilliant catch against the Browns last week, wide receiver Courtland Sutton helped tight end Noah Fant score a 75-yard touchdown against Cleveland by providing a key block.
“It was a special play,” Fant said after the game. “I remember breaking the first tackle and seeing Courtland coming down and blocking for me. He picked up a great block, and I was able to crease up on the sideline.
“It was something pretty special. It meant a lot to me especially seeing a guy who a couple plays before had made a spectacular catch over a corner, and now he’s working and grinding to be a blocker downfield after the ball was already caught. That’s kind of our whole offense though, everybody did a great job playing as a team. We want success for everybody.”
Fant finished the game with three receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown and Sutton finished the day with five catches for 56 yards and a score. Both players are unselfish and willing to block when asked to, which helps Denver’s move the ball down the field.
Sutton and Fant could be cornerstones of the offense for years to come.
