The quarterback explained his emotions after the 38-31 win.

"We put [Travis Hunter] backside, we knew he was going to get all the attention, then LaJohntay was just going to be there outside one-on-one," Sanders said, via Yahoo Sports. "They’re not going to think we’re going to throw him the ball because he’s like a shorter guy in that situation.

"So then I roll left, everybody went in the middle of the end zone and I just trusted God. I just threw it up to God. And God answered the prayer for sure."

Sanders was 25-of-41 with 341 passing yards and two touchdown passes. He also had a rushing touchdown.
