Too many men on the field? Jaguars score TD with fan standing in the end zone
Published:
The Jacksonville Jaguars might be responsible for one of the most interesting touchdowns of the NFL season.
In Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans, a fan got onto the field as Jacksonville was attempting to punch the ball across the goal line from the 1-yard line. Nobody stopped the play and James Robinson scored on the short one.
A video of the TD was posted on Twitter:
A #Jaguars fan got to the corner of the endzone and started jumping up and down calling for the ball.

That was one of the more interesting sightings during the NFL season. Typically, fans running onto the field are addressed pretty quickly, but it didn’t happen this time.
Jacksonville is probably glad there was no whistle blown before the score.
