It’s been a Sunday for Big Man Touchdowns.
First, Tampa Bay Buccaneers DT Vita Vea caught a touchdown pass to make himself (at 347 pounds) the heaviest player in NFL history to score an offensive touchdown.
That’s tough to top but the Tennessee Titans certainly put in a good effort.
Up 7-3 early in the third quarter on the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Titans were driving towards the endzone. With a first and goal from the two, everyone figured they’d hang the ball off to Derrick Henry. Instead, Ryan Tannehill faked the handoff and found a wide-open Dennis Kelly waiting in the endzone for the touchdown. Kelly, a 321-pound offensive tackle, immediately basked in the glory of his Big Guy Touchdown. But like a true teammate, he didn’t keep the celebration for himself. He handed out “beers” to everyone else so they could chug in unison.

Meanwhile, Derrick Henry is absolutely torching the Jaguars, ripping off a 74-yard touchdown run and then almost immediately following it up with another score.
DERRICK HENRY DOES IT AGAIN.

The Titans are running away with this one and there are bound to be plenty more celebration beers to chug.
