Perhaps Russell Wilson is starting to cook.

Wilson tossed a 66-yard touchdown to Jalen Virgil, an undrafted rookie out of Appalachian State. Virgil grabbed 98 catches for 1,436 yards and 11 touchdowns at App State. He added 1,142 yards and three touchdowns on 38 kick returns. He ran a 4.37 40-yard dash at his pro day, combining elite speed with good size (6-1, 210).

This is the first catch of Virgil's career, and it's a great way to start, helping the Broncos race to a 7-0 lead.

More big plays like this will revitalize Denver's offense, which currently ranks 30th in scoring.
