Emmanuel Sanders One-Handed Catch Sets Up Touchdown

Emmanuel Sanders made a great catch and an even better adjustment as he went to the ground to ensure he wouldn't lose control of the ball.

We've got a pretty good one brewing in Cincinnati, with both teams trading long kickoff returns and touchdown-scoring drives to start the second half. Emmanuel Sanders set up the Broncos second touchdown of the half, which went to Sanders, with this great one-handed catch while getting mugged by Terence Newman.

The one-hand grab is nice, but what really makes this a great play is the way Sanders contorted himself as he was falling down, because he knew he was not going to be able to control the ball if he landed on his stomach. So at the last minute he curled his body, shielding the ball from hitting the ground, which allowed him to hang on.
