DENVER — Former Roy and Corner Canyon High quarterback Jaxson Dart will make some highlight reels with his unconventional fourth-quarter touchdown throw against the Denver Broncos in week seven.
Dart targeted Wan’Dale Robinson on a crossing route, but it went through his hands and ended up with Theo Johnson, who took it all the way to the house.

The play gave Dart his third passing TD of the game.
Coming off a surprising win over the Eagles two Thursdays ago, many expected New York to come back down to earth in Denver. But the exact opposite happened.
Heading into the fourth quarter, the Giants led 19-0. Dart and the offense picked apart the elite Broncos defense, all while Bo Nix and the Denver offense couldn’t get anything going.
