New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning took the ball in himself for his team’s first touchdown on Sunday, recording just the sixth rushing touchdown of his career.

It was Manning’s first rushing touchdown since 2014. At 14 yards, this was nearly longer than all of his other rushing touchdowns combined. His previous long touchdown run was 10 yards, another was two, and the other three were all one yard runs.

So, consider yourselves fortunate to have seen something that had previously never been done.
