The above headline is still pretty surprising to me. I’m 23 and it feels like Jason Witten has caught touchdowns for as long as I can remember. However, none of Witten’s now 64 career touchdowns had come in a playoff game. Finally, that changed yesterday. Watch the two-time All-Pro and beloved East Tennessean’s touchdown below.

Witten’s end zone grab played a critical part in the second-half Dallas comeback, eventually coming back from an 18-point deficit to tie Green Bay. Dallas went on to lose, of course, but it was a pretty noble effort all told. Best of all, Witten finally got his first playoff touchdown after 14 seasons of the NFL. Not bad at all, buddy.
