Ja’Quan McMillian just made the biggest play of his NFL career against Josh Allen during the AFC Divisional Round matchup between the Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills on Saturday night.
McMillian is going through the fourth season of his career with the Broncos. He often comes on the field as a backup, making occasional starts for Denver throughout his time with the franchise since 2022.
In Denver’s latest playoff game, McMillian came through with the biggest defensive play of the night. During the overtime period, Allen threw a deep ball to Brandin Cooks to get the ball within field-goal range. However, McMillian had other plans as he ripped the ball out of Cooks’ hands to gain possession of the ball for his team.
