Leonard Fournette reaching the end zone in the first quarter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday was a special cause for celebration.
It’s been the rough season so far for the Buccaneers, and the way they begin games has played a role. So when the former LSU star got the Buccaneers on the board with a touchdown on Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens, it was a rare sighting.
Fournette’s 1-yard score was the first time the Bucs produced a first quarter touchdown this season.
For the first time all season, the Bucs have a first quarter TD ?
