Curtis Samuel continues to make plays that will make the highlight reel, even when the game is played overseas.

Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers went head to head in London for the NFL’s annual contest at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which kicked off at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Late in the game, with Carolina owning a 27-10 lead over Tampa Bay, Samuel hauled in a 13-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Allen to put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter. Samuel had to fight of a defender and somehow hauled in the football with one hand for the score.

It was his second touchdown of the day, but easily his most impressive.

Samuel finished the day with four catches for 70 yards and a touchdown, as well as one carry for eight yards and an additional score. The Panthers defeated the Buccaneers 37-26 to improve to 4-2 on the season.
