It’s rare to see a 100-yard touchdown in the NFL. Two in the same day, even more.

But the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks did just that Sunday afternoon with a pair of defensive scores of over 100 yards in a matter of minutes.

Patrick Surtain II turns Raiders scoring opportunity into Broncos TD

The Broncos scored theirs at home early in a game against the rival Las Vegas Raiders. Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew executed a play-action pass on first and goal from the five-yard line as Las Vegas had an early 10-3 lead. He rolled out and looked toward the end zone for rookie tight end Brock Bowers.

Instead, he found Broncos safety Patrick Surtain II. Surtain collected the pass on the goal line and then ran untouched down the right sideline.

A would-be Raiders scoring drive instead ended with seven points for the Broncos, resulting in a 10-10 tie. The play was recorded in the book as an interception and a 100-yard return for Surtain.

Rayshawn Jenkins passes for 102 yards

Meanwhile, in Seattle, the Seahawks came up with a game-changing defensive score of their own. The New York Giants threatened to put the first points on the board late in the first quarter on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line.

Running back Eric Gray took the handoff from Daniel Jones and attempted to jump over the goal line on a run up the middle. Instead, he lost the football. Seahawks safety Rayshawn Jenkins picked him up in the end zone and then sprinted down the right sideline. The Giants’ tacklers didn’t stand a chance.

Like Surtain, Jenkins ran untouched down the sideline and then skipped untouched into the end zone. He was credited with a fumble return and touchdown of 102 yards. The Seahawks took a 7-0 lead.

More non-offensive TDs

The other two afternoon NFL games also featured scores on defense or special teams.

In Green Bay’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw an ill-advised pass under pressure as he fell out of the back of the end zone. Linebacker Byron Young had him off balance in the end zone, and Love threw the ball up for grabs in an attempt to avoid a safety.

Safety Jaylen McCollough intercepted the ball at the four-yard line and tiptoed down the sideline into the end zone. Instead of a safety, the play resulted in a pick-6 and a go-ahead touchdown for a 13-7 Rams lead.

In Santa Clara, it was the 49ers’ special teams that scored. With 5:09 left in the second quarter, Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland attempted a 45-yard field goal in an attempt to tie the game.

Instead, 49ers cornerback Isaac Yiadom ran untouched from the left side and blocked the kick.

49ers defensive back Deommodore Lenoir grabbed the loose ball and returned it 61 yards for a San Francisco touchdown. Instead of a 13-13 tie, the 49ers took a 20-10 lead.

And just like that, the tides of all four simultaneous NFL games changed dramatically.
