Fangio hopes big game got Noah Fant 'over the top' Published: Nov 05, 2019 at 01:00 AM It's been
David Wright Jersey a disappointing season in Denver with plenty of factors at the forefront. But on Sunday, the , despite their struggles, having traded away their top veteran receiver and being forced to start a quarterback with no prior starting experience, pulled out a victory over Cleveland. One of the keys to the was the play of rookie tight end , who had largely underwhelmed ahead of the game. first-year coach Vic Fangio believes the performance could certainly bode well for the first-year tight end going forward. "I think it can," Fangio said Monday, via team transcripts. "I'm a believer in doing it on the field gives you confidence. Not imagining it, not sitting on some psych'
Gary Carter Jersey s couch and not thinking it. You have to go out and do it. He did it Sunday ." Fant, the 20th overall pick in the 2019 , hauled in three catches on four targets for 115 yards, which is a high for the season (and his career, obviously), and one huge touchdown. Displaying his big-play ability, Fant scored on a 75-yard grab from in the
Michael Conforto Jersey second quarter to push the ahead, 14-3. It was only the second touchdown of the season for Fant (the first came back in Week 4) and his first 100-yard game, his previous best a far-distant 37-yard outing. It was the best showing for a tight end (yardage-wise) since Julius
Keith Hernandez Jersey Thomas in 2013. The 75-yard sprint also stands as the longest play of the season for a offense long searching for big plays. "He's had other times this year where he's done it, albeit inconsistently," Fangio said. "Hopefully this will be a game that can put him over the top and at least he knows he can do it. If a game's not going his way in that regard, he still knows he can do it. The next play might be the one." The rookie might well have taken his first big step toward showing he's the one the hoped they were getting when they selected him in the spring.
