Just one day after the 10-year anniversary of his NFL debut, Broncos receiver Brandon Stokley delivered one of the most memorable moments of the 2009 season. With Denver trailing by a point and less than 30 seconds to go on the clock, the Broncos offense found themselves needing to go nearly the length of the field to have a chance to pull out the win. The Broncos quarterback dropped back to pass, and chucked the ball deep down the left sideline. A defender leaped high into the air to try to bat the ball away, but inadvertently swatted the ball right to Stokley, who hauled the pass in and took off running without breaking stride. 87 yards later, he was crossing the goal line for the score, but not before taking as much time off the clock as he could. The game-winning score was Stokley's only catch of the day, as Denver hung on to beat the Bengals, 12-7, on Sept. 13, 2009.
