Every now and then, a touchdown just falls into your lap. Jaylen McCollough learned that on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers in what’s just his fifth NFL game ever.
Late in the second quarter, Byron Young pressured Jordan Love and had a free run at the quarterback, laying a hit on him in his own end zone. Except, Love didn’t go down and decided to chuck the ball downfield in an attempt to avoid a safety.
The ball floated into McCollough’s hands at the 4-yard line and he avoided a tackle before slipping into the end zone for a touchdown. It was the easiest pick-six of his life and gave the Rams a 13-7 lead over the Packers.
