Meet Kapri Bibbs. He's a second-year running back for the Broncos. He played college ball at Colorado State. He was not drafted and he spent most of his career not on the field.
With C.J. Anderson unavailable due to an injury, Bibbs made the most of his opportunities against the Raiders. When the Broncos trailed by 17 points in the fourth quarter, Bibbs handled a screen pass from Trevor Siemian and proceeded to enter the end zone 69 yards later.
It was a very, very nice run after the catch:
69 yard screen pass...

He found the end zone!
What a run by @KapriBibbs! #DENvsOAKhttps://t.co/TIQrNpmTKI
That was Bibbs' first career touchdown. It might've come in what was essentially garbage time, but that's a play that shouldn't go unnoticed.
Those kinds of plays don't happen often.
Kapri Bibbs' 69-yard catch and run TD is the longest reception by a @Broncos RB since Clinton Portis had a 72-yard reception in 2003 at KC

I don't want to overreact to one play, but with Anderson sidelined and Devontae Booker struggling Sunday night, maybe Bibbs deserves a few more touches. Anderson might be on board with that idea.
I see my boy @KapriBibbs
