With perhaps their season on the line, the Denver Broncos called to running back C.J. Anderson — who was 2nd in the NFL in rushing during the final five weeks of the regular season — to try and convert a 4th-and-1 situation against the Indianapolis Colts late in the 3rd quarter.
Anderson rose to the challenge, and after shedding tackles from Colts defensive tackle Cory Redding and safety LaRon Landry, Anderson, elusively, powered his way passed the 1st down sticks to extend the Broncos drive.
The drive would result in a Connor Barth field goal, which cut the Colts lead over the Broncos to 21-13 with 13:50 remaining in the 4th quarter.
