A record-setting TD run from the quarterback, a 102-yard kick return from Braxton Berrios and of course, a surprisingly athletic touchdown reception from their fourth-string left tackle in Conor McDermott. Yup, all of that really happened in the team’s 26-21 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. All of that under the watchful eye of tight ends coach turned head coach for a day, Ron Middleton.
