In the third quarter of Monday’s 41-32 win over the Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix connected with wide receiver Marvin Mims on a 93-yard strike for a 28-17 lead.

The all-22 end zone angle of the throw shows a perfectly placed ball from Nix over a linebacker and away from the defensive back, where only Mims has a chance to catch it.

We could look at this all day:

Take a look from the other end of the field:

“We hit that turkey hole,” coach Sean Payton said of the play after the game. “Sometimes the ball goes out of bounds. It was a great throw and catch and a great game.”

According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Mims had a distance of 0.4 yards when the ball arrived and he reached a top speed of 20.68 mph in the game.

“For me it was kind of a read-the-field route. They ended up in a Cover-2 and I had the middle open and they just shot it. (QB) Bo (Nix) trusted me in the end” and placed the ball perfectly, literally. It was a big play for us.

According to NGS, the ball traveled 44.3 yards in the air. Nix abandoned the game after the big win.

“We knew it was third-and-long,” Nix said. “We tried to be aggressive and go for the first down. “We just had three verticals to get to three spots down the field. (They played) 2-Tampa Invert. Their corners receded. As soon as I saw the “Mike” style of carry, it’s only available in Tampa-2, so I knew it was a two-on-one on the field. Marvin with his speed just had to get it out. He did a great job of dividing the field. Your guy couldn’t reach it. I just heard the crowd going crazy and it was one of those great pieces that you don’t see often, but they’re pretty fun.”
