In Week 5, scoring returned — and, in several cases, it happened in some of the oddest and most unexpected ways.
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ Tank Bigsby was first hit 14 yards from the end zone by one Indianapolis Colts tackler and appeared to be wrapped up by another at the 11.
Yet, with two teammates pushing him forward, he wound up with a touchdown instead of a short gain, a score that became part of Jacksonville’s first victory.
Two minutes before halftime, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love dropped back into his end zone and was shoved with two hands — but not sacked for a safety — by a chasing Rams defender.
Officially, he went 101 yards, 18 yards longer than Seattle’s previous franchise record for a fumble return.
