Devaughn Vele gets a good grade for concentration.
The Denver Broncos receiver couldn't have figured that he would catch a touchdown when Bo Nix threw it toward the back of the end zone. He wasn't the intended receiver or close to the ball. But the ball got tipped once, then twice, then a third time and Vele snatched it just before it hit the ground for one of the craziest touchdowns of this season.
Bo Nix was trying to go to Adam Trautman...

That kept Bo Nix perfect for the day. He was 17 of 17 after Vele's unlikely catch. That gave the Broncos a 21-0 lead, in a game they needed to clinch a playoff spot
The way that play went, it was proof the Broncos had a little bit of luck on their side Sunday.
