Omar Bolden provided a jolt for the Denver Broncos with an 83-yard punt return touchdown just as time in the first half expired.

The Denver Broncos looked sleepy throughout the first half of their game against the Indianapolis Colts, right until the final play before halftime. Omar Bolden scored his first career touchdown by returning a punt 83 yards to the house, and this gave the Broncos the spark they needed. Here is a video of this stunning touchdown, which was scored right when time in the second quarter expired.

The Broncos safety ran close to the sideline for his touchdown, but Colts players were unable to reach him as he sped right past them. The Broncos trailed the Colts, 17-7 at halftime. They seemed to be in danger of suffering their first loss of the season after improving to 7-0 against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, but have since righted the ship.

Denver’s defense had looked uncharacteristically sluggish in the first half after producing the best defense in the NFL in the first half. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has begun to look like his old self again and is back to engineering his team to gaining the upper hand over Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, who was replaced by Luck after his release from the Colts.
