INDIANAPOLIS -- New England Patriots wide receiver David Patten became the first NFL player in 22 years to account for touchdowns by running, receiving and passing in the same game.
Patten scored on a 29-yard end around on the Patriots' first offensive play, then caught a 91-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady with 8:56 left in the half.
Just 1:45 later, Patten caught a pass from Brady, then turned and threw a 60-yard TD pass to Troy Brown.
The last player to complete the TD triple play was Walter Payton in 1979. |
