DENVER (CBS4) - Broncos rookie Phillip Lindsay scored Denver's first NFL touchdown of the regular season on Sunday afternoon.

That brought the score to 7-7 against the Seattle Seahawks at Broncos Stadium at Mile High.

It marked the first time in franchise history that an undrafted rookie scored a receiving touchdown in a season opener.

The Broncos signed Lindsey as a rookie free agent out of Colorado after he went undrafted in April.
