Add a touchdown catch to Bo Nix's highlight reel.

The Broncos' rookie quarterback got Denver onto the field with a goal-line grab on a trick play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.

Nix fired a shotgun shot and Denver faced fourth down from the 2-yard line in the second quarter. He handed the ball off to running back Javonte Williams, who then threw the ball to Courtland Sutton.

By the time Sutton got the ball, Nix had broken free near the goal line on the right side of the field. Sutton floated a ball over the hands of Ravens safety Marcus Williams and into Nix's.

Nix grabbed the ball and held on to it while Williams drove it to the turf at the goal line.

The touchdown catch is the first of Nix's career. With this score, Nix became the first player to secure a touchdown pass, a run and a catch this season. That score cut Baltimore's lead to 10-7.

Nix started Week 1 after the Broncos selected him No. 12 in the April draft. He entered Sunday's game having completed 63.2% of his passes for 191.3 yards per game with eight touchdowns and five interceptions. He rushed 52 times for 259 yards and had four touchdowns on the ground.

Sunday's touchdown catch was the first catch of Nix's NFL career.
