ATLANTA -- It may have been his first NFL game, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka called his shot in the huddle with 1:04 to go and down 20-17 at the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Egbuka became just the second player since the 1970 merger to record a game-winning touchdown reception with under a minute remaining in regulation or overtime in his first career game, joining Ernest Wilford of the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 12, 2004.
It was the second touchdown catch of the game for Ohio State's all-time receptions leader whom the Bucs selected 19th overall in the 2025 NFL draft.
