ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — One of the Washington Commanders’ touchdowns in their big win last week came on a play called “Taylor Swift.”
Carolina's defense clearly wasn't ready for it.
Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury revealed Thursday that Marcus Mariota’s first completion to tight end Ben Sinnott was named after the pop star who has become one of the faces of NFL coverage over the past year or so.
“His first catch was a touchdown, and the play was called ‘Taylor Swift,’ so you can’t really beat that to start your NFL scoring career," Kingsbury said. “He was stoked about it.”
