Ronnie Hillman goes 72 yards to the house for Broncos vs Vikings (Video)

Ronnie Hillman extended the Broncos’ lead on Sunday over the Vikings with this 72-yard touchdown run

There are some people that believe, and have believed for a time now, that Ronnie Hillman should be the No. 1 running back for the Denver Broncos, no questions asked. Well, on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, he pretty much proved all of those people right.

Through one quarter on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, the Broncos were up 3-0 and they were looking for more early in the second. They had a pretty long way to go to the end zone, however, as they were 72 yards away from pay dirt.

Well, this didn’t seem to be too much of an issue for Hillman, though. Nope, he took the hand-off from Peyton Manning and burst his way through the left side. Before the Vikings knew it, he was in the end zone and Denver now had a 9-0 lead, 10-0 after the extra point.

With the way that Manning has been playing as of late, this is the help from the running game that this team really needs. Performances like this will make the offense roll along a lot smoother.
