description

Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey broke the third quarter tie on this play in a matchup between Denver and Green Bay. After his quarterback evaded the pass rush and escaped the pocket to the left, the ball was thrown McCaffrey's way, and he made a leaping grab over one defender, who fell to the turf, and then stiff-armed his way past another defender before finally breaking free for a career-long, 78-yard score. McCaffrey tallied 116 yards and two touchdowns in this one on just five catches, as the Broncos rolled to a 31-10 win over the Packers on Oct. 17, 1999.
