On the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ first drive of the game, Cobie Durant took away a touchdown by deflecting a pass at the last second on a deep shot toward Emeka Egbuka. The second time the Bucs had the ball, Durant decided to score a touchdown of his own.
Baker Mayfield checked it down to Cade Otton on second-and-13, but the Bucs tight end bobbled it as he was going upfield. He ran right into Durant, who ripped it out of his grasp and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown, doubling the Rams’ lead to 14-0.
The play was reviewed and confirmed to be a touchdown despite Otton’s knee hitting the ground.
Durant and the Rams are off to a terrific start, going up two scores before the end of the first quarter and holding the Bucs to just 28 net yards on their first two drives.
