Broncos Trindon Holliday's record-setting day continues
The Broncos' unlikeliest player gave Denver the lead early in the third quarter of Saturday's AFC Divisional game against Baltimore: Return specialist Trindon Holliday, who was released earlier this season by the Texans after five games because he struggled with turnovers, has two touchdowns -- one punt return the other a kick return -- both over 90 yards.

An unlikely player gave the Broncos the lead early in the third quarter of Saturday's AFC Divisional game against Baltimore: Return specialist Trindon Holliday, who was released earlier this season by the Texans because he struggled with turnovers, has two touchdowns -- a 90-yard punt return and a 104-yard kick return.
But it's even more impressive than that:
FROM ELIAS: Trindon Holliday is the 1st player in NFL history with TWO TDs of any kind to go 90+ Yds in the same playoff game #DENvsBAL

Baltimore was one of only 7 NFL teams that did not allow a special teams TD this season. Bad time to allow KR & PR for TD in same game...

Today is Special Teams Coordinator Jeff Rodgers' birthday. #Broncos

Interestingly, Ravens kick returner Jacoby Jones, who hasn't been heard from Saturday, was named to the 2012 All-Pro Team earlier in the day.
