Omar Bolden wasn't going to let his Broncos head to the locker room without points.

So, the reserve cornerback took an end-of-half punt back all the way for a much-needed touchdown vs. the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium:

The Broncos hadn't scored all half. Enter Omar Bolden. 83-yard punt return TO THE HOUSE to end the half. #DENvsIND https://t.co/tqZU8u8qRD

Bolden shouldn't have even handled that punt. But for some reason, Gary Kubiak went with his backup returner instead of regular punt-handler Emmanuel Sanders.

The move paid off regardless. Bolden took the ball back 83 yards and put the team in a position for a second-half comeback.
