Rookie fullback Andy Janovich scored the Broncos’ first touchdown of the 2016 NFL season during Thursday night’s opener against the Carolina Panthers. 

Janovich ran for 28 yards to score. It was his first career carry.

Janovich was selected by Denver in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL draft out of Nebraska.

Thursday’s game is the first Super Bowl rematch to occur on the opening night of an NFL season since 1970.
