Rookie Tyler Shough Answers Early Pick-Six With 54-Yard First NFL TD

Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough delivered a mixed but memorable start to his NFL career on Sunday night. After surrendering an early pick-six, the first interception returned for a touchdown against him in the league, the first-round draft choice rebounded with a 54-yard scoring strike to wide-receiver Tipton. The deep pass, which came later in the opening half, marked Shough’s first NFL touchdown and briefly swung momentum back in favor of his club. Details of the game’s final score were not immediately available, but Shough’s long connection underscored the arm strength and aggressiveness that made him a highly watched prospect coming out of college.
