Ja’Quan McMillian does it again in OT, Broncos top Super Bowl champs

The Denver Broncos had no business being in overtime with the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday and Ja’Quan McMillian knew it — so he did something about it.

McMillian intercepted a lame duck throw by Seattle Seahawks starter Sam Darnold to set up a 53-yard Wil Lutz field goal, giving the Broncos a 17-14 win.

It’s the second time in a recent Broncos game that McMillian had an overtime pick — snagging one on Josh Allen as the Broncos beat Buffalo in the playoffs last year.

The Broncos probably shouldn’t have been in overtime in this game, leading 14-3 in the fourth quarter before the Seahawks mounted a comeback to tie the game in the last minute via a field goal to send the game to overtime.

Lutz, who has struggled a bit in the last several Broncos game, along with big-playmaker McMillian, get to be the heroes on a night Denver’s offense dried up. The Broncos beat the reigning Super Bowl champions and are now 4-2 on the year — next playing a week from Sunday in Arizona.
