The Denver Broncos were looking to extend their lead in the fourth quarter on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs at Mile High.
Eighty-six yards later, they were trailing.
Melvin Gordon was slammed by Melvin Ingram and fumbled the football.
Nick Bolton picked up the ball and took off. The former Missouri star only had to beat his former Tiger teammate, quarterback Drew Lock, on his way to the end zone.

It was no contest and Denver’s 21-20 lead suddenly turned into a 28-21 deficit after Patrick Mahomes ran in the two-conversion.
