New York Jets rookie running back Braelon Allen etched himself into the annals of NFL history on Sunday with a two-touchdown performance against the Tennessee Titans.
New York Jets rookie running back Braelon Allen busted onto the scene on Sunday with an incredible performance against the Tennessee Titans in the team’s 24-17 victory. Allen had seven carries for 33 yards and scored a rushing touchdown. He also had two catches for 23 yards and a receiving touchdown. The 20-yard scamper into the end zone in the fourth quarter put the Jets ahead with 4:31 left in the game. They would eventually close it out.
The Wisconsin product was a fourth-round draft pick earlier this year and earned a spot on the 53-man roster after training camp. With his touchdowns on Sunday, he became a part of NFL history. At 20 years and 239 days old, Allen became the youngest player in the Super Bowl era and second-youngest player since 1933 to score a touchdown. He is the youngest player since 1933 with a rushing touchdown and a touchdown catch in the same game.
Aaron Rodgers earned the first true Jets win over his tenure in New York. When he went down early in the first quarter last season, Zach Wilson took over and guided the team to a victory. 'These are kind of the games you look back on late in the season, and you’re thankful that you won these,' Rodgers said. 'Because if we want to be a great team, we’ve got to win in these type of environments against teams like that.
The other touchdown pass went to running back Breece Hall, who had seven catches for 52 yards. Hall also ran for 62 yards. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
