Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw his second touchdown pass of Week 6 against Seattle, hitting rookie wideout Andrei Iosivas for a touchdown.
It was a special moment, to say the least, as it was Iosivas’ first touchdown of his young career — on his birthday, no less.
The score put the Bengals up 14-7, though perhaps the biggest highlight of all came after the play.
Once the score was official, cameras caught Burrow sprinting to the sideline to talk to officials, then to the endzone to pick up the ball and personally bring it back to the rookie.
Despite the chaos, it was Burrow making sure the rookie got his first touchdown ball on his birthday.
