The touchdown celebration was just as fitting, as Tim Patrick knocked helmets with Hamilton and Courtland Sutton hugged Hamilton from behind, tapping him several times on the helmet — Hamilton's fellow wide receivers recognize how hard he's worked to have the game he had.

"The same thing that y'all always talk to me about, [Hamilton and Patrick] do the same thing," Sutton said. "They push me to continue to elevate my game and to be able to see them come out here and have the same success, that's well overdue."

Lindsay joined the celebratory huddle and said postgame he knew he'd be congratulating Hamilton this Sunday.

"I told him before the game that he was going to score a touchdown. It was about his time," Lindsay said. "… Everybody has their time, and I've said that before … It was DaeSean's time, and he stepped up."

Sutton, Patrick and Hamilton often practice catching balls on the jug machine after scheduled practices, and Hamilton frequents the UCHealth Training Center on the players' weekly day off to put in the extra work with the machine.

"[Hamilton and Patrick] work their butts off, week in and week out," Sutton said. "And to see them go out there and have the success they have, man, I was having so much fun just watching them make plays."

Hamilton says the energy from the wide receiver group has mixed with Lock's "swagger" and allowed the group to have their success. And Hamilton has become a favorite target of Lock.
