The Denver Broncos came up with another come-from-behind win against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, putting up 17 unanswered points in a Week 2 showdown on Sunday.
With running back RJ Harvey out, it was up to veteran back J.K. Dobbins and rookie Jonah Coleman to carry the Broncos' backfield. Dobbins put in 36 yards on 10 carries, but the big storyline was all about the rook.
Coleman had 10 carries for 39 yards and his first NFL touchdown (which proved to be the winning score), and caught three passes for 19 yards in the victory.
Coleman, who envisioned himself a Bronco after his pre-draft visit, hit the "Mile High Salute" celebration after his first career score.
Check out a compilation of reactions from Broncos Twitter on Coleman's celebration.
Hopefully, it is the first of many!

With Harvey and Dobbins now both dealing with hamstring injuries, Coleman might be in line for more work going forward. Up next is a Sunday Night Football showdown with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.
