rest - https://www.denverpost.com/2018/09/1...de=WebAccessSPNative son Phillip Lindsay, the Broncos’ backup running back who is quick to thank his teammates and “Mr.” John Elway at every opportunity, etched his name in NFL history Sunday by gaining 107 yards rushing in the 20-19 victory over the Raiders.
It was a proud day for the Denver native who is living a fairy tale two games into his NFL career.
Lindsay became the league’s first undrafted rookie to produce at least 100 yards from scrimmage in each of his first two games. He had a team-tying-high 71 yards rushing plus 31 yards receiving in Denver’s Week 1 victory over Seattle.
“Just playing football,” Lindsay, who also caught a pass for a 4-yard gain Sunday, said after being told of his record. “Just playing football for my team. It’s just a great opportunity to be here. I can’t thank (general manager) Mr. Elway enough for letting me be a part of this organization.”
