The Broncos' Sutton connects with Nix for a trick-play TD against the Ravens

BALTIMORE — On his third attempt to convert a fourth down in the first half Sunday, Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton reached deep into his playbook.

Facing a fourth-and-goal from the Baltimore Ravens' 2-yard line, quarterback Bo Nix handed the ball off to running back Javonte Williams, who then turned the ball over to wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Sutton, who had thrown a pass in the fourth quarter of the Broncos' win over the Carolina Panthers last week, threw the score to Nix in the right front corner of the end zone.

The touchdown cut the Ravens' lead to 10-7 with just under seven minutes left in the first half.

Nix is ​​now the only player in the league this season to pass for a touchdown, rush for a touchdown and receive a touchdown.
