Fisher king! NFL world reacts as Chiefs left tackle reels in TD pass

Originally posted on Sportsnaut  |  By Vincent Frank  |  Last updated 9/28/20

The Kansas City Chiefs had it clicking on all cylinders during their “Monday Night Football” matchup with the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3.

That included Patrick Mahomes going off for four touchdowns in the first half alone en route to Kansas City opening up a 27-10 lead. While Baltimore would storm back to score 10 consecutive points, Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher put the kibosh on any comeback attempt.

Fisher caught a two-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes about midway through the fourth quarter to give Kansas City a 34-20 lead. It was something else.

Offensive linemen reporting eligible in goal-to-go situations is not rare. But offensive linemen seeing a pass thrown in their direction certainly is rare. You could see how surprised Fisher was to actually have the ball thrown his way.

Fisher is the first No. 1 overall pick to catch a touchdown pass since Keyshawn Johnson all the way back in 1996. That’s a pretty fun stat right there. Speaking of fun, those watching the game had a blast with this.
