Broncos turn deflection into winning score with seconds left
2009-09-13
CINCINNATI, Ohio (Reuters) - Wide receiver Brandon Stokley caught a deflected pass and ran for an 87-yard touchdown with seconds to play as the Denver Broncos eked out a 12-7 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday. "I've never seen anything like that," Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer told reporters. Bengals cornerback Leon Hall tipped the pass from Denver quarterback Kyle Orton only for Stokley to catch the ball and run for the touchdown with 11 seconds remaining. Cincinnati thought it had won the game when Cedric Benson scored on a one-yard run with 38 seconds to play for a 7-6 lead.
