J.K. Dobbins had a moment for the Denver Broncos on Monday, and social media was eating it up.

The veteran running back became the first Bronco to eclipse 100 rushing yards in a game since 2023 during the team’s 28-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. With the game being on national TV, Dobbins’ star moment was caught by a ton of media folks — including the Spanish language broadcast team that was at the game.

Dobbins joined ESPN’s Spanish-language reporter, where he gave an interview not in English. He shared that Bo Nix was special, among other things, as he did his best. He’s also shared that he’s excited for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show performance.

"EEEES LUUUUNES" 🔥

The Bengals do not boast a strong defense, but the offensive showing from Denver was a positive step forward — particularly Dobbins and rookie RJ Harvey’s night out of the backfield.

The Broncos rushed for 186 yards and two touchdowns on 38 attempts, split between the two, quarterback Bo Nix and some others. The two-headed monster behind Nix also added five catches for almost 50 yards and a touchdown as well.

“I’m one of those guys where if I get in a rhythm, if I get consecutive carries, I can get better,” Dobbins said. “As the game goes on, I get better. I’m sure that’s probably every running back. They’ll probably tell you that.”

Sean Payton admitted the team found a way better rhythm with their rushing attack, splitting drives between Dobbins and Harvey rather than what they had been doing in the first few games, which could see either’s number called whenever.

“I think coach Payton is starting to figure me out, and [RB] RJ [Harvey] out, and the offensive line out and just the whole offense,” Dobbins said. “He’s figuring it out, and he’s doing a great job of putting us in the right position. The series, with consecutive touches, shows you what happens. In 38 games, we never had a 100-yard rusher. That happened tonight because coach Payton put us in that position.”

The Broncos will hope to bring more gains on the ground to Philadelphia, where they face the reigning Super Bowl champs on Sunday.
