His second touchdown of the day did not come easy as he barreled his way through multiple Packers defenders to pull the Broncos within a single score deficit.
The @Broncos line MADE SURE Phillip Lindsay got into the end zone. ?? #BroncosCountry

Mason Crosby had a strong outing for the Packers as he accounted for a third of their 27 total points, helping them defeat the Broncos 27-16. Crosby was 3-3 on point-after attempts and 2-3 on field goals, with a long of 42 yards. David Bakhtiari and the Packers' offensive line had a great day as well, allowing only one hit on quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers says he's "ecstatic" about only getting hit one time. Said it might be the cleanest game he's ever played.

Hell of a job by David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga against one of the best 1-2 pass rush punches in football.
On the opposite side of the ball, a duo of former Buffs had strong performances for their respective teams.
Chidobe Awuzie recorded eight tackles, five of which were solo, and one pass breakup on his way to helping the Cowboys defeat the Dolphins 31-8. Additionally, Falcons cornerback Isaiah Oliver tallied seven tackles (six solo) and two pass breakups in a 27-24 loss to the Colts.
Ahkello Witherspoon recorded two solo tackles in the first half of the 49ers' 24-20 victory over the Steelers, but suffered a foot injury in the second half that forced him to sit out the remainder of the contest. After the game, head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed Witherspoon suffered a foot sprain and is going to miss "at least a month" before returning to action.
