Packers rookie QB Taylor Elgersma throws first NFL touchdown pass

One week after he had a touchdown pass negated by penalty, Green Bay Packers quarterback Taylor Elgersma -- an undrafted rookie from Canada -- threw the first touchdown pass of his NFL career during Saturday's preseason finale at Lambeau Field.

It won't count in regular season statistics, but Elgersma still has a touchdown pass at the NFL level. The score gave the Packers a 17-0 lead over the Seattle Seahawks.

Elgersma found rookie receiver Will Sheppard for a 3-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter on Saturday.

Elgersma threw a touchdown pass to tight end Ben Sims last week in Indianapolis, but the play was negated by a holding penalty.
