On 2nd & 2 from the Chiefs 9 yard line, Broncos' running back Melvin Gordon took a handoff from quarterback Drew Lock and was immediately met by "the other" Melvin.

In a bang-bang moment, Gordon barely received the handoff before being met by Ingram who dislodged the ball. Linebacker Nick Bolton reacted quickly, scooping the ball and after spinning out of an attempted tackle by former MIZZOU teammate Drew Lock, took the ball 86 yards to pay dirt.

The long return put the Chiefs up 26-21 and after making the subsequent 2-point conversion, the Chiefs led 28-21. Bolton's return would end up being the winning score, as Kansas City held on for a 28-24 victory.
