Thanks to the wonderful researchers at ESPN, below is an inside look at the remarkable day of Denver receiver Brandon Marshall.
Marshall, making his 2008 debut Sunday after serving a one-game NFL suspension, had 18 catches in Denver's 39-38 win over San Diego. Marshall made the most of his opportunities. He caught 18 of the 20 passes Denver quarterback Jay Cutler threw his way. Both incompletions were on out patterns of 16 and 28 yards.
