LeBron James is just three wins away from his fourth career NBA title, and on Friday night, he and the Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
On Thursday night, though, James was tuned in for the Broncos' prime-time game against the Jets. And when Jerry Jeudy made a highlight-reel touchdown catch in the first half of the game, James certainly noticed.
"JEUDY!!!!!! Moss'd," James tweeted.
Indeed, Jeudy's catch over Pierre Desir was reminiscent of prime Randy Moss. Jeudy beat Desir down the field, but when the pass was underthrown, Jeudy had to reach back and pluck the ball away from the cornerback. The play should have been an easy interception. Instead, Jeudy wound up with the ball and stared at Desir — who wound up on the ground — for a moment before stepping into the end zone.
Jeudy finished with just one other catch — a 13-yarder to go with his 48-yard score — but the play showed his big-play potential.
"I thought Jeudy's touchdown was a tremendous play on his part," Head Coach Vic Fangio said after the game, "and I think we're going to see him grow more and more as this season goes on."
Jeudy didn't have much to say about the details of the catch or whether he or Rypien would get to keep the ball, as they each recorded their first career touchdown on the play. He did, however, have a reaction to James' tweet.
"LeBron James?" Jeudy said. "LeBron James shouted me out? That's next level right there. It's a blessing."
