The TD put the Colts up early, 7-0 on the seven-play, 92-yard drive with just under 2-minutes left in the first period. Campbell now has 10 receptions for 162 yards and a TD on the season. The 51-yard reception is the longest of Campbell’s NFL career.
No stranger to the end zone during his time at Ohio State, Campbell set a school record with 90 receptions, which included 12 touchdown receptions during his senior season in 2019. At the time he was only the fifth Buckeye to top 1,000 receiving yards in a season with 1,063.
