Gardner Minshew wowed NFL fans with his jaw-dropping touchdown pass

Gardner Minshew had already become a fan favorite in Jacksonville since taking over for the injured Nick Foles, and the rookie from Washington State wasn’t done with the highlight moments.

The Jaguars struggled for much of Sunday’s game against the Broncos, but late in the third quarter, Minshew looked to give Jacksonville the spark that they needed.

Trailing by 11 points on 3rd and 5 from the Denver eight-yard line, Minshew showed off unbelievable footwork in the pocket. He was able to avoid pass rushers from multiple directions before connecting with Ryquell Armstead for the score.

This was just a ridiculous effort from Minshew.

This is the single greatest play I've seen a #Jaguars quarterback make in 15 years.

The "Garner Minshew is Uncle Rico" bit was funny until he started playing football exactly the way I imagined Uncle Rico would have played football. https://t.co/2YNI07Y08X

Minshew is for real. The Jaguars would take the lead a few minutes later.
